Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the volcanic backbone of Java, including iconic peaks like Merapi and Bromo, followed by a dramatic approach over the southern Bali coastline.
Java Volcanic Chain
Dramatic views of the central Java volcanoes including Mount Merapi, Merbabu, and Lawu.
Bromo and Semeru
The iconic smoking craters of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park are often visible in the distance.
Indian Ocean Horizon
Endless deep blue vistas where the southern coast of Java meets the vast Indian Ocean.
Uluwatu Cliffs
Stunning limestone cliffs and world-class surf breaks of the Bukit Peninsula on final approach.
Bali Mandara Toll Road
The unique 'highway over the water' stretching across the Benoa Bay just before touchdown.
This is the premier side for volcano spotting. Book a morning flight (07:00-10:00) to see the peaks before tropical cloud cover develops. On the final approach into DPS Runway 09, you will fly directly past the Uluwatu cliffs and the GWK statue, providing excellent photo opportunities of Bali's southern tip.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Aerial views of the Klang Valley and the Sepang International Circuit shortly after takeoff.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, dotted with massive cargo ships and tankers.
Java Northern Coastline
Continuous views of the Java Sea meeting the northern plains and major port cities like Semarang.
Madura Island
Distinctive views of the salt pans and rugged coastline of Madura as the flight nears East Java.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and holiest volcano visible in the distance to the northeast during the descent.
Sit on the left for a clear view of the Java Sea and the northern coastal cities. During the final approach into Ngurah Rai from the west, you might catch a glimpse of the northern Bali mountains if the weather is clear. Afternoon flights on this side avoid the direct glare of the sun.
