Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the 'Ring of Fire' volcanic chain, including some of Indonesia's most iconic peaks and massive calderas.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

Mount Tambora

The site of the massive 1815 eruption; its enormous 6km wide caldera is clearly visible on Sumbawa Island.

🌋

Mount Rinjani

The majestic 3,726m peak on Lombok, often poking through the cloud layer with its Segara Anak lake.

🌋

Mount Agung

Bali's highest and holiest volcano, providing a dominant and sacred silhouette on the horizon.

🏝️

Komodo National Park

Views of the labyrinthine, hilly islands of Rinca and Komodo surrounded by turquoise waters.

🌋

Mount Batur

Visible just behind Mount Agung, featuring a massive double caldera and a crescent-shaped lake.

🚤

Gili Islands

Tiny specks of white sand and turquoise water off the northwest coast of Lombok.

The right side is the 'Volcano Side'. Aim for a morning flight (07:00–10:00) to ensure the peaks are not obscured by afternoon tropical clouds. Keep your camera ready as you cross from Sumbawa to Lombok for the most dramatic mountain scenery.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏜️

Sumba Island

Aerial views of the rugged, arid terrain and unique limestone plateaus of Sumba to the south.

🌊

Savu Sea

Vast stretches of deep azure waters known for whale migrations and vibrant coral reef fringes.

🏝️

Nusa Penida Cliffs

The dramatic southern limestone cliffs and the famous Kelingking 'T-Rex' bay visible during the descent.

🏖️

Bukit Peninsula

The southern tip of Bali featuring luxury resorts and the Uluwatu temple area as the plane nears Denpasar.

🌉

Bali Mandara Toll Road

The unique over-water highway stretching across Benoa Bay during the final approach to Runway 09.

Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to experience a spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean. It also offers a closer look at the unique sea-bridge infrastructure of Bali upon landing if the wind is blowing from the West.
