Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring a potential view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure from Narita and a stunning close-up of Mount Agung upon the descent into Bali.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, Japan's iconic snow-capped peak is visible shortly after departing the Tokyo area.
Mayon Volcano
The world's most perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone located in the Bicol Region of the Philippines.
Mount Apo
The highest peak in the Philippines, dominating the landscape as the plane crosses Mindanao.
Makassar Strait
A busy maritime corridor between Borneo and Sulawesi, often dotted with traditional Phinisi ships.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and holiest volcano, providing a spectacular landmark during the descent into Denpasar.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Request a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. If the flight path takes you over the Izu Peninsula, keep your eyes peeled for Mount Fuji about 15-20 minutes after takeoff. During the descent into Bali (DPS), the pilot often banks near Mount Agung; the right side offers the most direct view of the crater and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
Kujukuri Beach
One of Japan's longest sandy beaches visible immediately after takeoff from Narita.
Siargao Island
The surfing capital of the Philippines, identifiable by its distinct coastline and surrounding reefs.
Banggai Archipelago
A cluster of remote, emerald-green islands in the Molucca Sea with vibrant coral formations.
Nusa Penida
The dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of Bali's neighbor visible during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to experience a breathtaking sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. This side provides a better view of the smaller, more remote Indonesian islands as you cross the equator. Ensure you have your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight to capture the rugged beauty of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan.
