Which side of the plane to sit from El Tari Airport (Kupang) to Maumere(Wai Oti) Airport (Maumere)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an exceptional view of the Maumere Bay archipelago and its vivid coral reef systems during the final descent into Wai Oti.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

Kupang Harbor

A top-down view of the shipping traffic and waterfront of Kupang as the plane gains altitude.

🏝️

Pulau Besar

The largest island in Maumere Bay, offering dramatic topography and turquoise surrounding waters during descent.

🪸

Maumere Bay Marine Park

One of Indonesia's most biodiverse marine areas, visible through the clear water as the plane descends.

🛶

Coastal Settlements

Quaint fishing villages and salt pans scattered along the northern coast of the island of Flores.

The right side is essential for seeing the famous Maumere Bay islands. The descent into MOF is the most scenic part of the trip on this side. Have your camera ready about 10 minutes before touchdown to capture the reef patterns through the clear shallow water.

8.2
🏝️

Semau Island

Witness the stunning white sands and coral fringes of Semau Island immediately after departing Kupang.

🌋

Mount Egon

The left side provides a great view of the volcanic landscape. Opt for a flight before 10:00 AM to see the peaks clearly before tropical clouds develop. Keep an eye out for Mount Egon as you cross the coastline.
