Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Lombok International Airport (Praya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the legendary 'Ring of Fire' volcanic chain stretching across Java and Bali, culminating in spectacular views of Mount Agung.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with massive cargo ships shortly after departure.
Mount Merapi
Indonesia's most active volcano is often visible with a plume of smoke rising from its crater.
Bromo-Semeru Massif
The surreal, lunar-like landscape of the Tengger Caldera is a major mid-flight highlight.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and most sacred peak looks magnificent as you cross the narrow Lombok Strait.
Southern Bali Coast
Clear views of the Bukit Peninsula and the luxury resorts of Nusa Dua just before the final crossing.
This is the premier side for volcano spotting. To capture the best photos of the Java volcanic arc, sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Choose an early morning departure; by midday, clouds frequently obscure the volcanic peaks.
Java Sea
A vast expanse of tranquil turquoise water often dotted with traditional Indonesian fishing vessels.
Northern Java Coast
Panoramic views of coastal cities like Semarang and the industrial heartlands of East Java.
Madura Island
Distinctive views of the island's salt fields and rugged northern coastline as you approach the Bali Sea.
Gili Islands
The famous trio of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air are clearly visible during the descent into Lombok.
Mount Rinjani
Lombok's massive stratovolcano dominates the northern horizon as the aircraft enters its final approach.
The left side is superior for the final 15 minutes of the flight. As the plane descends into Lombok from the northwest, you get a perfect view of the Gili Islands' coral reefs. Book a morning flight to see the sun reflecting off the Java Sea without excessive glare.
