Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled vantage point for Bali's majestic volcanoes immediately after takeoff and provides the most dramatic views of the Philippine archipelago and the Japanese coastline during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Mount Agung

An incredible close-up view of Bali's highest and most sacred volcano shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Rinjani

The massive peak of Lombok's volcano is often visible across the Lombok Strait to the east.

🇵🇭

Philippine Archipelago

Detailed views of the central Visayas islands and the mountainous eastern coast of Luzon.

🌅

Pacific Sunrise

For overnight flights, the right side provides a front-row seat to the sunrise over the open Pacific.

🏔️

Kii Peninsula

Dense green mountains and dramatic coastal inlets of Wakayama Prefecture during the Japanese arrival.

This side is superior for volcano enthusiasts; the view of Mount Agung is a trip highlight. On night flights, the right side will witness the sunrise as you approach Japan. Seat yourself ahead of or well behind the wing to ensure your view of the Kii Peninsula isn't obstructed.

🚢

Java Sea

Visuals of the busy maritime shipping lanes and coral reefs between Bali and Java.

🌊

East China Sea

The deep blue expanse of the Pacific transition zone, often featuring scattered island chains.

🌉

Awaji Island

A clear view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Awaji Island during the final turn into Osaka Bay.

Select the left side if you are flying during the late afternoon to catch a spectacular sunset over the South China Sea. During the approach to KIX, this side often sees the industrial skyline of Kobe and the northern reaches of Osaka Bay.
