Which side of the plane to sit from El Tari Airport (Kupang) to Lombok International Airport (Praya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic landscape of the Indonesian Ring of Fire, including the massive Mount Tambora and the iconic peaks of Flores.
Flores Volcanic Chain
A spectacular sequence of active peaks including Mount Egon and the area near Kelimutu.
Komodo National Park
Aerial views of the iconic, brownish-green hills of Rinca and Komodo islands.
Mount Tambora
The enormous 6km-wide caldera created by the historic 1815 eruption on Sumbawa Island.
Moyo Island
A lush, emerald-green island surrounded by turquoise coral reefs north of Sumbawa.
Mount Rinjani
Indonesia's second-highest volcano dominates the horizon during the descent into Lombok.
Labuan Bajo
The scenic bay and harbor of the main gateway to the Komodo dragons.
Seat yourself forward of the wing for the most unobstructed view of Mount Tambora's crater. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the western faces of the volcanoes during descent.
Kupang Bay
Clear views of the busy port and coral reefs surrounding El Tari Airport upon departure.
Savu Sea
The deep blue expanse separating the inner and outer arcs of the Lesser Sunda Islands.
North Sumba Coast
Distances views of the rolling hills and savannah-like landscape of Sumba Island to the south.
Southern Sumbawa Range
Rugged, less-traveled mountain ridges along the southern spine of Sumbawa Island.
Alas Strait
The narrow channel between Sumbawa and Lombok often dotted with inter-island ferries.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare from the north. Watch for the distinct changing colors of the ocean depth along the Sumba coastline.
