Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning ocean views, the Right Side provides a superior perspective of the volcanic skyline of Java and the iconic coastal approach into Bali.
Hainan Island
The lush, tropical southern coastline of China's popular island province shortly after departure.
Spratly Islands
Intricate reef systems and scattered islands visible in the deep blue waters of the South China Sea.
Natuna Islands
Emerald islands surrounded by coral reefs located between the Malay Peninsula and Borneo.
Javanese Volcanic Arc
Silhouettes of distant volcanoes like Mount Bromo and Semeru rising above the clouds during the cruise phase.
Benoa Bay
A clear view of the Bali Mandara Toll Road and the southern peninsula during the final descent into Denpasar.
The Right Side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the western horizon. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the majestic Javanese volcanoes piercing the cloud layer. On the final approach into Ngurah Rai, this side offers the best views of the iconic sea-bridge and the surfer-dotted coastlines of Kuta and Jimbaran.
Pearl River Delta
Aerial view of the massive urban clusters of Guangzhou and Shenzhen immediately after takeoff.
Paracel Islands
A glimpse of the remote coral atolls and turquoise lagoons in the central South China Sea.
Borneo Coastline
The dense tropical forests of the Sarawak and Kalimantan regions as you fly southward.
Java Sea
Vast, calm blue waters dotted with traditional fishing vessels as you cross the equator.
Mount Agung
A spectacular view of Bali's highest and most sacred volcano during the northern approach into the island.
Opt for an early morning flight to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the ocean. As you approach Bali, look for the towering peak of Mount Agung which dominates the landscape. Cloud cover is typically lower in the mornings, offering clearer views of the Indonesian archipelago's northern islands.
