Which side of the plane to sit from Komodo Airport (Labuhan Bajo) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a world-class volcanic tour, featuring the massive Tambora caldera, the towering Mount Rinjani with its crater lake, and Bali's majestic Mount Agung.
Komodo National Park
Immediate views of the unique 'Jurassic' landscape of Padar, Rinca, and Komodo islands right after takeoff.
Mount Tambora
A spectacular view of the massive 7km-wide caldera created by the historic 1815 eruption on Sumbawa.
Mount Rinjani
The soaring 3,726m summit of Lombok's volcano, often showcasing its turquoise crater lake, Segara Anak.
The Gili Islands
The three tiny, palm-fringed islands of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air visible off the northwest coast of Lombok.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and most sacred peak, providing a grand entrance as the plane begins its final approach into DPS.
This is arguably one of the most scenic flight paths in the world. Choose a window seat forward of the wing for the best volcano photography. Morning flights are highly recommended to see the peaks before tropical clouds build up in the afternoon. Watch for Tambora roughly 20 minutes after departure.
Southern Sumbawa Coast
Dramatic views of rugged cliffs and remote bays along the southern edge of Sumbawa island.
Kuta Lombok Coastline
Aerial perspective of the white sand crescents and turquoise reefs of southern Lombok's surfing hotspots.
Nusa Penida & Lembongan
Clear views of the iconic limestone cliffs and the deep blue waters of the Badung Strait during descent.
Bukit Peninsula
The southern tip of Bali, featuring the high cliffs of Uluwatu and luxury resorts overlooking the Indian Ocean.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It offers excellent views of the coral reefs and southern island geography, though it lacks the dramatic volcanic peaks of the north.
