Mount Rinjani
The majestic 3,726-meter peak of Lombok's active volcano and its massive Segara Anak crater lake.
Lombok Strait
The deep-water trench marking the Wallace Line, the biological boundary between Asian and Australian wildlife zones.
Mount Tambora
The enormous 7-kilometer wide caldera on Sumbawa Island, site of the most powerful volcanic eruption in history.
Komodo National Park
Aerial views of the distinctively rugged, arid, and turquoise-fringed islands of Komodo and Padar.
Flores Island
The jagged coastline and inland volcanic peaks of Flores, stretching toward the East Nusa Tenggara region.
Book a morning flight to ensure clear views of the volcanic peaks before afternoon clouds develop over the islands. The left side is particularly stunning for sunrise on early morning departures from Bali. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the transition from Bali to Lombok happens quickly.

Uluwatu Cliffs
The dramatic limestone cliffs and world-famous surf breaks at the southern tip of Bali.

West Timor

Darwin Approach
Sweeping views of the Beagle Gulf and the city of Darwin during the final descent into Darwin International Airport.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset on late afternoon flights into Darwin.

Sit behind the wing to get the best unobstructed views of the reef systems.
