Which side of the plane to sit from Lombok International Airport (Praya) to Hasanuddin International Airport (Ujung Pandang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a direct, breathtaking view of Mount Rinjani and its volcanic caldera shortly after takeoff, providing one of the most iconic aerial views in Indonesia.
Mount Rinjani
Indonesia's second-highest volcano dominates the horizon immediately after departing Praya.
Segara Anak Lake
The stunning turquoise crescent-shaped crater lake visible inside the Rinjani caldera.
Saleh Bay
Distant views of the massive bay in Sumbawa known for its unique whale shark population.
South Sulawesi Coast
The rugged, mountainous terrain of the southern peninsula of Sulawesi appearing as you approach the destination.
The best view of Rinjani is during early morning flights (06:00-09:00) before clouds typically gather around the peak. Sit several rows behind the wing to ensure the engine does not block the view of the crater lake.
Gili Islands
Aerial view of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air nestled in the turquoise waters off Lombok's northwest coast.
Mount Agung
On clear days, the massive silhouette of Bali's highest volcano is visible across the Lombok Strait.
Flores Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue water contrasting with the bright coral reefs of the Indonesian archipelago.
Spermonde Archipelago
A cluster of small islands and coral cays visible during the final descent into Makassar.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Bali Sea. During the descent into UPG, look for the traditional Phinisi ships in the waters near the Makassar harbor.
