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.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
πŸŒ‹

Mount Agung

Bali's highest and holiest volcano dominates the view shortly after crossing the Lombok Strait.

πŸ•³οΈ

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.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Madura Island

A comprehensive view of the southern coastline of Madura before the final turn into Juanda Airport.

πŸŒ‰

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.

πŸ–οΈ

Sanur & Bukit Peninsula

The southern tip of Bali, featuring the high-end resorts and the iconic Uluwatu coastline.

πŸŒ‹

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.
