Which side of the plane to sit from Lonorore Airport (Lonorore) to Longana Airport (Longana)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of Ambae Island's massive volcanic centerpiece, the Manaro Voui caldera, as the flight approaches Longana from the south.
Search flights from LNE to LOD
Manaro Voui Caldera
The dominant volcanic peak of Ambae Island, featuring spectacular crater lakes often shrouded in steam.
Selwyn Strait
The deep blue passage of water crossed immediately after departing Pentecost Island.
Ambae Rainforests
Dense, verdant tropical canopies covering the steep southern slopes of the island.
Saratamata Settlement
View of the provincial administrative center as the plane descends toward the coastline.
Choose the left side and aim for an early morning flight to avoid the clouds that typically cluster around Ambae's volcanic peak by midday. The proximity to the caldera makes for a stunning aerial photography opportunity if the weather is clear.

Pentecost Mountain Spine
Dramatic views of the rugged, steep interior ridges of Pentecost Island immediately after takeoff.
Maewo Island Silhouette
The long, narrow profile of Maewo Island visible to the north across the ocean horizon.
Fringing Reefs
Vibrant turquoise coral formations visible along the northern coastline of Pentecost and eastern Ambae.
Lolowai Bay
A unique horseshoe-shaped natural harbor visible near the northern tip of Ambae during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for seeing the departure from Pentecost and the coastal geography of northern Ambae. Since the flight is very short (under 20 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. This side often has better lighting during the late afternoon.
