Which side of the plane to sit from Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar) to Perth International Airport (Perth)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the transition from the lush Indonesian archipelago to the rugged, turquoise-fringed coastline of Western Australia.
Nusa Penida & Lembongan
Glimpse the turquoise waters and rugged limestone cliffs of these islands shortly after takeoff from Denpasar.
Ningaloo Reef
As you enter Australian airspace near Exmouth, look for the world-heritage reef where the desert meets the deep blue.
Shark Bay
Spot the distinctive 'W' shape of the Peron Peninsula and the stunning red sands contrast against the ocean.
Kalbarri Gorges
The Murchison River carving through red sandstone cliffs is often visible as you track south along the coast.
Perth Hills
On final approach, enjoy views of the Darling Scarp and the sprawling Swan Valley vineyards.
Book an early morning flight to see the sun rising over the Australian outback. This side is ideal for spotting the Ningaloo Reef and Shark Bay as the flight path usually hugs the Western Australian coastline once it makes landfall.
Uluwatu Temple
Watch the iconic sea temple perched on the edge of towering cliffs immediately after departure from DPS.
Indian Ocean Sunset
Perfect for late afternoon flights to catch the sun dipping below the horizon over the open water for a long duration.
Rottnest Island
On approach to Perth, you may see Rottnest and its famous white sand beaches sitting in the deep blue ocean.
Perth CBD Skyline
Depending on the wind and runway in use, you may get a panoramic view of the city skyscrapers and the Swan River.
Select this side for afternoon or evening flights to experience a spectacular Indian Ocean sunset. It's also the better side for viewing Rottnest Island if the aircraft approaches Perth from the west over the ocean before turning into the airport.
