PER β LOP
Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Lombok International Airport (Praya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of Western Australia's rugged outback and a breathtaking approach into Lombok featuring the majestic Mount Rinjani volcano.
Perth CBD & Swan River
Spectacular views of the city skyline and the winding river immediately following takeoff.
Western Australian Outback
Vast stretches of red earth and unique salt lake formations as you fly north.
Shark Bay & Ningaloo
Depending on the flight path, you may see the stunning UNESCO-listed turquoise coastlines.
Mount Rinjani
The centerpiece of Lombok, this massive active volcano dominates the view during arrival.
Lombok Rice Paddies
The final approach offers a low-altitude view of the vibrant green agricultural landscape of Praya.
Sit on the right side for the most dramatic view of Mount Rinjani as you approach the island. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the WA outback. Note that if the plane approaches LOP from the north, Rinjani will be extremely close and impressive on this side.
Rottnest Island
Aerial view of 'Rotto' and its turquoise bays shortly after departure from Perth.
Indian Ocean Transition
The dramatic shift from the white sands of the WA coast to the deep indigo of the Indian Ocean.
Mount Agung
On a clear day, Bali's highest peak is visible across the Lombok Strait during the descent.
Gili Islands
Small, ringed coral islands visible north of the Lombok mainland on many approach paths.
Sunset Horizon
Ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sun dipping below the western oceanic horizon.
Choose this side for afternoon departures to enjoy the sunset over the water. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Wallace Lineβthe invisible biological boundary between Bali and Lombok manifested in the deep ocean channels.
