Which side of the plane to sit from Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar) to Lombok International Airport (Praya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular front-row seat to Indonesia's most iconic volcanic peaks, including Mount Agung and Mount Rinjani, plus a bird's-eye view of the Gili Islands.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and most sacred volcano dominates the skyline immediately after takeoff from Denpasar.
Gili Islands
The trio of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air appear as turquoise-ringed gems in the ocean during the approach to Lombok.
Mount Rinjani
Lombok's massive stratovolcano, the second highest in Indonesia, provides a breathtaking backdrop during the descent.
Lombok Strait
The deep-water channel of the Wallace Line, separating the distinct fauna of Asia and Australasia.
Northeast Bali Coast
Aerial views of the black sand beaches and coral reefs around the Amed and Tulamben regions.
Book an early morning flight (before 09:00 AM) for the best visibility, as clouds often shroud the volcanic peaks of Agung and Rinjani by midday. Since the flight is extremely short, have your camera ready immediately upon takeoff.
Nusa Penida
Incredible views of the rugged limestone cliffs and the famous Kelingking 'T-Rex' beach area from above.
Nusa Lembongan & Ceningan
Spot the iconic yellow bridge and the patchwork of seaweed farms in the shallow channels between the islands.
South Lombok Coast
The dramatic, white-sand bays of Kuta Lombok and the Mawun beach area are visible during the final approach.
Mandalika Circuit
Depending on the landing path, you can often see the international MotoGP street circuit near the southern shoreline.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Indian Ocean and the silhouette of the Nusa islands. If the plane circles south for landing, you get a perfect view of the Mandalika coastal development.
