LOP β SUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Lombok International Airport (Praya) to Juanda International Airport (Surabaya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular and intimate views of Bali's iconic volcanic peaks and the rugged coastline of Madura Island during the approach into Surabaya.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and holiest volcano dominates the view shortly after crossing the Lombok Strait.
Mount Batur Caldera
Clear views of the massive caldera and the crescent-shaped lake nestled beside the active cone.
Bali Sea Traffic
Watch the numerous fast boats and ferries traversing the deep waters between Lombok and Bali.
Madura Island
A comprehensive view of the southern coastline of Madura before the final turn into Juanda Airport.
Suramadu Bridge
The longest bridge in Indonesia connecting Java and Madura is often visible during the final approach.
Request a seat in the front or middle of the cabin to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of Mount Agung. This route is short (approx. 45-60 mins), so keep your camera ready from the moment the seatbelt sign goes off.
South Lombok Coastline
Dramatic cliffs and turquoise bays of southern Lombok visible immediately after departure.
Nusa Penida & Nusa Lembongan
Aerial perspective of the limestone cliffs and famous surf breaks of the Nusa islands.
Sanur & Bukit Peninsula
The southern tip of Bali, featuring the high-end resorts and the iconic Uluwatu coastline.
Mount Semeru
Java's highest peak can be seen in the distance on clear days as you approach East Java.
Early morning flights (06:00-08:00) are best to avoid the afternoon haze and cloud cover that often obscures the volcanic peaks. On the descent into Surabaya, look for the industrial salt pans near the coastline.
