Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Darwin International Airport (Darwin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular front-row seat to the Indonesian 'Ring of Fire,' including the dramatic volcanic peaks of East Java and the rugged southern coastlines of Bali and the Komodo islands.
Search flights from KUL to DRW
Strait of Malacca
Views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes shortly after departure from Kuala Lumpur.
Mount Bromo & Semeru
Incredible views of the active volcanic complex in East Java, often puffing plumes of smoke.
Bali's Bukit Peninsula
The southern tip of Bali, featuring high limestone cliffs and world-famous surfing beaches.
Komodo National Park
The unique, brown, rugged terrain of the islands where the famous Komodo dragons live.
Timor Sea Transition
The deep blue expanse where the Indonesian archipelago ends and the approach to Australia begins.
The right side is superior for volcano enthusiasts. Try to book a morning flight for the clearest visibility, as volcanic peaks often gather clouds by midday. On the approach to Darwin, you will likely see the Cox Peninsula and the Darwin city skyline if the flight path follows the standard northern arrival.

Java Sea
Vast turquoise waters and scattered fishing vessels dotting the sea between Malaysia and Indonesia.
Surabaya Skyline
A distant view of East Java's bustling capital and its significant industrial port area.
Mount Rinjani
The massive caldera and peak of Lombok's famous volcano visible across the horizon.
Flores Island
Aerial views of the northern coastline of Flores with its intricate bays and deep blue waters.
Choose the left side for calmer sea views and a glimpse of the northern Indonesian archipelago. This side is better on morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare from the south. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of Mount Rinjani as you pass Lombok.
