Which side of the plane to sit from Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar) to Muhammad Salahuddin Airport (Bima)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled 'Volcano Row' experience, featuring front-row views of Mount Agung, Mount Rinjani, and the massive caldera of Mount Tambora against the turquoise backdrop of the Flores Sea.
Mount Agung
Bali's tallest and most sacred volcano dominates the skyline shortly after departure from Denpasar.
Gili Islands
The three distinct coral atolls of Trawangan, Meno, and Air are clearly visible off the coast of Lombok.
Mount Rinjani
A spectacular view of Indonesia's second-highest volcano, including its massive caldera and summit.
Saleh Bay
A massive semi-enclosed sea area known for its unique marine biodiversity and whale shark sightings.
Mount Tambora
The site of the colossal 1815 eruption, featuring a massive six-kilometer wide crater.
Book a window seat on the left side (typically seat A) for the most dramatic volcanic scenery. Morning flights are ideal as the air is clearest and the rising sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the peaks. During the dry season from May to September, clouds are less likely to obscure the volcanic craters.
Bukit Peninsula
Views of Bali's southern limestone cliffs and famous surf breaks like Uluwatu during takeoff.
Lombok Strait
The deep water channel marking the Wallace Line, separating Asian and Australian biological zones.
Southern Lombok Coast
The rugged and pristine bays of Kuta Lombok and the surrounding turquoise coastal waters.
Moyo Island
A glimpse of the exclusive nature reserve and marine park located at the mouth of Saleh Bay.
Bima Bay
The scenic approach into Bima, flying over the narrow, mountain-fringed bay leading to the airport.
The right side (seat F) is excellent for observing the deep blue waters of the Lombok Strait and the rugged southern coastlines. During the final approach into Bima, this side provides a better angle of the winding mountain terrain surrounding the bay. It is also a good choice if you prefer indirect sunlight to avoid glare while taking photos.
