Mount Rinjani
The massive caldera of Lombok's highest peak is clearly visible shortly after takeoff.
Mount Tambora
Witness the enormous crater of the volcano responsible for the 1815 'Year Without a Summer'.
Flores Archipelago
Dramatic views of the rugged, mountainous terrain and turquoise bays of Flores and the Alor Islands.
Papuan River Deltas
Observe the intricate, snake-like brown rivers winding through the dense green jungles of southern Papua.
Owen Stanley Range
The backbone of Papua New Guinea rises sharply as the flight approaches Port Moresby.
Request a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Opt for a morning departure (around 08:00 - 10:00) to ensure the volcanoes are not obscured by the afternoon convective cloud build-up common in the tropics. Watch the GPS map; the transition from the volcanic islands to the Papuan mainland is a highlight of the route.

Bali Bukit Peninsula
Great views of the Uluwatu cliffs and the southern coastline of Bali during the initial climb.
Arafura Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water separating the Indonesian archipelago from Australia.
Gulf of Papua Reefs
Vibrant coral reef structures and turquoise shallows visible during the descent into POM.
Port Moresby Harbor
Views of the bustling shipping lanes and the growing skyline of the PNG capital during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer ocean views and coastal reef patterns. On clear days, you might catch a distant glimpse of Sumba Island. Ensure you are looking out during the last 20 minutes of the flight as the plane descends over the Coral Sea and into the harbor area of Port Moresby.
