Our Recommendation
8.7

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
โ›ฉ๏ธ

Lantau Landmarks

Clear views of the Big Buddha statue, Po Lin Monastery, and the expansive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Paracel Islands

Remote, white-sand islands and surrounding reef structures visible in the central South China Sea.

๐ŸŒ‹

East Java Volcanoes

A stunning sequence of volcanic peaks including Mount Bromo and the smoking crater of Mount Semeru.

๐Ÿงช

Ijen Crater

The world-famous turquoise acid lake of the Ijen plateau, visible as the plane descends toward Bali.

๐ŸŒ…

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Hong Kong Skyline

Spectacular views of Victoria Harbour, Lamma Island, and the southern coastline of Hong Kong Island during departure.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Spratly Islands

Distant views of remote coral atolls and turquoise reefs scattered across the South China Sea.

๐ŸŒณ

Borneo Rainforest

Aerial perspective of the vast, dense tropical canopy and winding river systems of West Kalimantan.

๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Rinjani

On a clear morning approach, the massive silhouette of Lombok's highest volcano is visible across the strait.

๐ŸŒŠ

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.
