Our Recommendation
9.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the iconic 'Ring of Fire' volcanoes, including Mount Rinjani and the massive caldera of Mount Tambora, as well as the stunning northern coastline of the Lesser Sunda Islands.

Left Side Highlights
9.8
🌋

Mount Agung

Glimpse Bali's highest and most sacred peak shortly after takeoff from Denpasar.

🌄

Mount Rinjani

The towering 3,726m peak on Lombok island, often surrounded by a sea of clouds.

🕳️

Mount Tambora

View the enormous 6km-wide caldera of the volcano responsible for the 1815 'year without a summer'.

🏝️

Komodo National Park

Aerial views of the rugged, dry savannah islands and turquoise coral reefs of the northern Komodo chain.

🚤

Labuan Bajo Harbor

Watch the bustling gateway to Komodo with its numerous phinisi boats and islands.

🌊

Flores Sea

Vibrant coral atolls and deep blue waters stretching toward the horizon as you follow the Flores coastline.

Book a morning flight (before 10 AM) to see the volcanoes before cloud cover develops. The left side is essential for seeing the massive crater of Tambora on Sumbawa island. Sit mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction of the deep volcanic craters.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Nusa Penida

See the dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden beaches of Bali's neighboring islands.

🏄

South Lombok Coast

The white sand bays and world-class surf breaks around Kuta Lombok are visible from above.

🌿

Rinca Island

The southern part of the Komodo National Park, known for its rugged terrain and dragon habitats.

⛰️

Mount Inerie

The perfect conical shape of this volcano near Bajawa can often be seen in the distance.

🏙️

Maumere Bay

Beautiful turquoise waters and coastal settlements as the plane descends into Wai Oti.

The right side offers better views of the rugged southern coastlines and the inland mountain ranges of Flores. During the dry season (May to September), the landscape turns a dramatic golden brown, contrasting sharply with the turquoise reefs.
