HKG โ DPS
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of Indonesia's volcanic backbone during the descent, including the famous peaks of East Java and the rugged coastline of Bali.
Lantau Landmarks
Clear views of the Big Buddha statue, Po Lin Monastery, and the expansive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
Paracel Islands
Remote, white-sand islands and surrounding reef structures visible in the central South China Sea.
East Java Volcanoes
A stunning sequence of volcanic peaks including Mount Bromo and the smoking crater of Mount Semeru.
Ijen Crater
The world-famous turquoise acid lake of the Ijen plateau, visible as the plane descends toward Bali.
Jimbaran Bay
Final approach views of the golden beaches of southern Bali and the limestone cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula.
The right side is the 'volcano side.' For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to ensure the sun is behind you, illuminating the dramatic peaks of East Java and the Ijen crater. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes before landing for the most scenic descent.
Hong Kong Skyline
Spectacular views of Victoria Harbour, Lamma Island, and the southern coastline of Hong Kong Island during departure.
Spratly Islands
Distant views of remote coral atolls and turquoise reefs scattered across the South China Sea.
Borneo Rainforest
Aerial perspective of the vast, dense tropical canopy and winding river systems of West Kalimantan.
Mount Rinjani
On a clear morning approach, the massive silhouette of Lombok's highest volcano is visible across the strait.
Bali Sea
Deep azure waters transitioning into vibrant coral gardens as the aircraft enters the Indonesian archipelago.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is superior for viewing the departure from HKG and offers a better chance to see the island of Lombok if the flight path tracks slightly east of Bali before landing.
