Sit on the left for the best view of the volcanic landscape of Ende right at the start. Morning flights are preferred as the sun will be behind you or overhead, highlighting the turquoise waters of Kupang Bay. During the dry season (May-September), the contrast between the blue sea and the arid Timor landscape is particularly striking.

The right side is ideal for spotting distant islands like Sawu and Rote in the middle of the flight.

Watch for the transition from the lush green of Flores to the savanna-like terrain of Timor.
