Search flights from DPS to MLG
Mount Agung
Bali's tallest and most sacred volcano is visible in the distance shortly after the plane levels out.
Madura Strait
Sweeping views of the northern Javanese coastline and the calm waters separating Java from Madura Island.
Bromo-Tengger Caldera
The centerpiece of the flight: the massive ancient crater containing Mount Bromo and the perfectly ribbed Mount Batok.
The Sea of Sand
The surreal, gray volcanic desert surrounding the Bromo crater, looking like a lunar landscape from above.
Mount Arjuno
The massive volcanic massif that dominates the skyline to the west as you align for the runway at Malang.
The right side is the premium choice for this route. To avoid the heat haze and wing obstruction, select a seat ahead of row 10. The Bromo complex usually appears about 10-15 minutes before landing. Avoid late afternoon flights during the rainy season as thunderstorms frequently block the volcanic views.

Jimbaran Bay
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and limestone cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula right after takeoff.
Bali Strait
The narrow, busy maritime passage between Bali and Java, filled with traditional ferries and cargo ships.
Mount Semeru
A dramatic view of Java's highest peak, often seen venting small ash clouds every few minutes.
Blambangan Coastline
The rugged southern tip of East Java, featuring dense forests and remote, pristine beaches.
Sit on the left for the best view of Mount Semeru. Morning flights are highly recommended before the clouds typical of tropical Java obscure the peaks. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff as you cross into Java airspace.
