Which side of the plane to sit from Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of Indonesia's 'Ring of Fire,' showcasing a continuous chain of massive volcanoes across Java and Bali before crossing the scenic Bangka-Belitung islands.
Mount Agung & Batur
Breathtaking views of Bali's highest sacred peaks, often poking through the morning cloud layer shortly after takeoff.
Javanese Volcanoes
A stunning sequence of major peaks including Mount Bromo, Mount Semeru, and Mount Merapi as you track west.
Belitung Islands
Vibrant turquoise waters and unique granite rock formations visible as the flight crosses the Java Sea.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Clear views of the Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Tower are frequently visible during the standard approach pattern into KUL.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight when the air is clearest; volcanoes often become obscured by clouds by midday. Sit in the front third of the cabin or the very rear to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the volcanic craters. Watch for the change from deep blue sea to the bright coral reefs of the Belitung islands midway through the journey.
Uluwatu Cliffs
Dramatic limestone cliffs and white-water surf breaks along the southern tip of Bali immediately after takeoff.
Strait of Malacca
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, crowded with massive cargo ships and tankers approaching Malaysia.
Thousand Islands
The 'Kepulauan Seribu' archipelago near Jakarta appears as tiny emerald dots scattered in the Java Sea.
Indian Ocean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sunset over the open ocean on late afternoon or evening flights.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the water. This side is also better for spotting heavy maritime traffic in the Malacca Strait during the descent into Kuala Lumpur. Avoid seats directly over the wing for better views of the Bali coastline during departure.
