PER â DPS
Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic meeting of the Australian desert and the ocean, followed by Bali's iconic volcanic skyline.
Shark Bay
The striking contrast of red desert sand meeting bright blue water at this World Heritage site.
Lake Macleod
Expansive white salt pans and coastal lagoons located near the town of Carnarvon.
Mount Agung
The towering silhouette of Bali's most sacred volcano often visible during the descent.
Nusa Penida
Views of the rugged limestone cliffs and turquoise waters surrounding Bali's sister islands.
The right side is superior for daytime flights to witness the vibrant colors of the Gascoyne and Pilbara regions. As you approach Denpasar, the flight path often curves near the eastern volcanoes, offering spectacular views of Mount Agung and Mount Batur if the weather is clear. Aim for a window seat to capture the red-to-blue transition of the Australian coast.
Perth Skyline
Excellent views of the CBD and Swan River shortly after takeoff from Perth International.
Ningaloo Reef
Catch glimpses of the turquoise reef edge where the deep ocean meets the continental shelf.
Uluwatu Temple
The historic sea temple perched on the edge of the southern cliffs during final approach.
GWK Cultural Park
Spot the massive Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue rising above the Bukit Peninsula.
Best for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Indian Ocean. On arrival, this side offers a clear view of the limestone cliffs of southern Bali and the surf breaks around Uluwatu. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the coastline.
