Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to Indonesia's 'Ring of Fire' as the flight path passes directly alongside the majestic volcanic chain of Java.
Titiwangsa Mountains
The rugged, jungle-clad mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia as the plane cuts south towards the equator.
Java North Coast
Panoramic views of the densely populated coastline of Java, including the distant sprawl of the Jakarta metropolitan area.
Mount Bromo & Semeru
The absolute highlight: the smoking caldera of Bromo and the towering peak of Semeru, often rising above the clouds.
Madura Island
Distinctive views of the salt pans and traditional fishing villages along the southern coast of Madura.
Indian Ocean Sunset
On afternoon flights, witness incredible golden hour colors reflecting off the sea and volcanic peaks.
The right side is unbeatable for volcano spotting. To see the peaks clearly, book a morning flight to avoid the afternoon convection clouds that often obscure the mountains. Sit ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Bromo.
Eastern Gulf of Thailand
Aerial views of the Thai coast, including the industrial hubs and shipping lanes near Rayong and Pattaya.
Belitung Archipelago
Look for the stunning turquoise waters and white sand fringes of Belitung Island as you cross the Karimata Strait.
Mount Ijen
On the approach to Bali, you can spot the massive caldera of Ijen, famous for its turquoise acid lake.
Bali Strait
A clear view of the narrow water passage separating East Java from the western tip of Bali during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the South China Sea. It also provides a better angle for viewing the Ijen crater complex just before the final descent into Denpasar.
