Which side of the plane to sit from Maumere(Wai Oti) Airport (Maumere) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled sequence of Indonesia's most iconic volcanoes, including the massive Tambora caldera, Mount Rinjani, and Mount Agung, set against the turquoise Flores Sea.
Mount Egon
The active volcano located just east of Maumere, often visible shortly after takeoff.
Sangeang Api
A stunning, perfectly conical volcanic island smoking in the middle of the Flores Sea.
Mount Tambora
The site of the 1815 mega-eruption; look for the massive, wide caldera on Sumbawa Island.
Mount Rinjani
Lombok's towering 3,726m peak, often rising above the clouds with its crater lake visible.
Gili Archipelago
The three tiny, turquoise-fringed islands of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air off Lombok's coast.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest point and holiest mountain, providing a grand entrance to the island.
This side is a 'must' for volcano lovers. Sit mid-cabin or forward of the wing to get unobstructed photos of the Tambora caldera. For morning flights, the peaks are most likely to be clear before afternoon clouds build up. Keep your camera ready throughout the mid-flight over Sumbawa for the most dramatic geological features.
Flores Southern Coastline
View the dramatic, rugged bays and white sand beaches near Ende and Aimere.
Komodo National Park
Aerial perspectives of the iconic Padar and Rinca islands with their multi-colored bays.
Indian Ocean Horizon
Vast expanses of deep blue water with occasional views of distant Sumba Island to the south.
Nusa Penida
The steep limestone cliffs and famous formations like Kelingking Beach as you approach Bali.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a better look at the southern sections of Komodo National Park. Watch for the distinct 'Jurassic Park' topography of the southern islands where the hills meet the sea abruptly.
