Which side of the plane to sit from Port Hedland International Airport (Port Hedland) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) is generally superior for this route because it offers the best chance to see Bali's iconic volcanoes, including Mount Agung, upon arrival, as well as the unique Bali Mandara Toll Road during the final approach.

Pilbara Hinterland
The striking red earth and dry riverbeds of the De Grey River delta as you depart the Australian coast.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and most sacred volcano, often visible towering above the clouds as the aircraft approaches the island.
Bali Mandara Toll Road
The impressive engineering of the 'floating' highway over Benoa Bay, which looks spectacular from the air.
Benoa Harbour
A view of the bustling harbor filled with traditional boats, yachts, and the occasional cruise ship.
Sit on the right side for the 'Money Shot' of Mount Agung. Early morning flights are best as the air is clearest, providing the sharpest views of the volcanoes before afternoon clouds build up. During the final approach, keep your camera ready for the unique over-water highway in Benoa Bay.

Port Hedland Salt Pans
Vast, white geometric evaporation ponds and the massive iron ore loading facilities of one of the world's busiest ports.
Indian Ocean Horizon
Deep azure waters of the Indian Ocean, occasionally revealing remote reefs and passing cargo ships.
Nusa Penida Cliffs
The rugged, sheer limestone cliffs of Nusa Penida's southern coast, including the famous Kelingking 'T-Rex' area.
Kuta and Seminyak
Aerial views of Bali's most famous tourist hubs and the sweeping arc of its southwestern coastline during descent.
Choose the left side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. This side is also excellent for viewing the deep blue expanse of the Indian Ocean and the dramatic cliffs of the Nusa islands shortly before touchdown in Denpasar.
