Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the most iconic volcanic peaks of the Indonesian archipelago, providing dramatic views of Mount Agung and Mount Rinjani rising above the clouds.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Mount Agung

Bali's highest and most sacred peak, often seen towering through the clouds shortly after departure from Denpasar.

🌋

Mount Rinjani

A spectacular view of Lombok's massive stratovolcano, including glimpses of its high-altitude crater rim.

🌋

Mount Tambora

The site of the world's largest recorded eruption, featuring an enormous and deep volcanic caldera on Sumbawa.

🏝️

Satonda Island

A small, perfectly formed volcanic island north of Sumbawa containing a mysterious saltwater crater lake.

🌊

Flores Sea Coast

The northern coastline of the Lesser Sunda Islands, characterized by vibrant coral reefs and deep blue waters.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the volcanoes. Early morning flights (before 9:00 AM) are highly recommended, as clouds often form around the peaks of Agung and Rinjani by midday, obscuring the view.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Nusa Penida

Glimpse the rugged limestone cliffs and the famous coastal formations of Bali's neighbor islands.

🏖️

Southern Lombok Coast

Views of the white sand bays of Kuta Lombok and the surrounding turquoise surf breaks.

⛰️

Komodo National Park

As the plane descends, enjoy a panoramic view of the iconic rugged islands of the Komodo archipelago.

⛵

Labuan Bajo Harbor

A bird's-eye view of the bustling harbor filled with traditional Phinisi schooners and dive boats.

The right side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight. As the aircraft banks for the approach into Labuan Bajo, you will get a superior view of the Komodo islands' unique 'jurassic' topography and the turquoise channels between them.
