Which side of the plane to sit from Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar) to Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (Dili)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to Indonesia's 'Ring of Fire,' featuring iconic volcanoes like Rinjani and Tambora, plus vibrant coral reefs across the Lesser Sunda chain.
Mount Agung
Witness Bali's highest and most sacred peak shortly after takeoff, often piercing through the morning cloud layer.
Mount Rinjani
Dramatic views of Lombok's massive stratovolcano and its stunning caldera lake, Segara Anak, as you cruise east.
Komodo National Park
An aerial perspective of the rugged, reddish-brown islands and turquoise waters that form the habitat of the Komodo dragon.
Mount Tambora
A spectacular view of the massive crater formed by the historic 1815 eruption on the island of Sumbawa.
Flores Sea
Deep blue waters dotted with tiny atolls and intricate coral reef patterns lining the northern coast of Flores.
Alor Archipelago
Intricate island chains and narrow straits known for world-class diving and exceptionally clear water visibility.
For morning flights, the left side is ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes for Agung and Rinjani. The chain of volcanoes follows the route almost the entire way to Timor.
Nusa Penida
High-altitude views of the iconic Kelingking 'T-Rex' cliffs and the steep limestone coastline south of Bali.
Savu Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue sea known for its rich marine biodiversity and migratory paths for whales.
West Timor Coast
The rugged and arid landscape of the western part of Timor island meeting the white-sand beaches of the south.
Cristo Rei
During the final approach into Dili, you can often spot the massive Jesus statue standing on a hilltop overlooking the bay.
Dili Harbor
A beautiful view of the East Timorese capital as it sits nestled between the mountains and the Banda Sea.
The right side is superior for the final approach into Dili, providing the best view of the coastline and the landmark Cristo Rei statue. For late afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to see the landscape without the sun in your eyes.
