Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the prime choice for this route, offering spectacular views of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, the remote Kimberley coastline of Western Australia, and the iconic silhouette of Mount Agung as you approach Bali.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Moreton Bay

Stunning aerial perspectives of the sand dunes and turquoise waters of Moreton and Bribie Islands.

⛰️

Glass House Mountains

Ancient volcanic plugs that rise abruptly from the coastal plains north of the airport.

🐊

The Kimberley

The rugged red canyons and intricate tidal estuaries of Northwest Australia are visible before heading out to sea.

🌋

Mount Agung

Bali's highest and most sacred volcano often towers above the clouds as you begin your final approach.

🌅

Sanur Coastline

The reef-protected lagoons and golden sands of eastern Bali appear just before touchdown.

The right side is essential for volcano spotting. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch Mount Agung. For the best views of the Australian coast, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you as you cross the Kimberley region.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Brisbane City Skyline

Clear views of the winding Brisbane River and the CBD towers shortly after departure.

🏜️

Queensland Outback

Witness the dramatic color shifts of the Australian interior with its deep red earth and braided river systems.

🌊

Timor Sea Crossing

Deep azure waters that signal the transition between the Australian continent and the Indonesian archipelago.

🏝️

Nusa Penida

Dramatic limestone cliffs and the famous T-Rex-shaped Kelingking Beach visible during the descent.

🏄‍♂️

Uluwatu Cliffs

The rugged southern tip of Bali with its luxury resorts and world-class surfing breaks near the airport.

Sit on the left for better views of the Brisbane CBD on takeoff and the southern coastline of Bali's Bukit Peninsula on landing. This side typically avoids the direct glare of the sun on flights departing Brisbane in the afternoon.
