Mbeliling Forest
Dense tropical canopy and deep valleys immediately after departing Labuan Bajo.
Mount Ebulobo
A striking symmetrical stratovolcano visible in the central part of the island.
Gunung Meja
Ende's famous flat-topped 'Table Mountain' that dominates the landscape on the final approach.
Northern Bays
Occasional glimpses of the turquoise reefs and intricate coastline of the Flores Sea.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic landing experience. Try to book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) as the central mountains of Flores often trap clouds by midday, obscuring the volcanic peaks. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for Gunung Meja.

Komodo Archipelago
Distant views of the iconic islands and Rinca during the initial climb out of LBJ.
Mount Inerie
The sharp, cone-shaped peak of one of Indonesia's most beautiful volcanoes near Bajawa.
Savu Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and southern cliffs of Flores Island.
Mount Iya
The active volcano situated on a small peninsula just south of the Ende runway.
The right side is excellent for spotting the southern volcanoes like Inerie. This side also avoids direct afternoon sun glare during the eastbound flight. If the plane circles the bay before landing, you will get a panoramic view of the Ende harbor.
