Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled sequence of dramatic volcanic peaks across Indonesia and the vivid color shifts of the Australian Outback.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Bali and Lombok

Iconic views of Mount Agung and Mount Rinjani piercing through the cloud layer in the distance.

🐉

Komodo National Park

The rugged, rust-colored terrain of the Lesser Sunda Islands surrounded by crystal clear reefs.

🏜️

Outback Textures

The dramatic shift from tropical greens to the deep, oxidized red sands and salt lakes of the Australian interior.

🚜

Darling Downs

A beautiful patchwork of agricultural fields and rolling hills near the Great Dividing Range.

🏙️

Brisbane River

A prime view of the winding river and the CBD skyline as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.

This side is superior for daytime flights. Approximately 2 to 3 hours into the journey, watch for the string of Indonesian volcanoes. As you cross the Australian coast, the lighting on the right side is generally better for photographing the 'Red Center' landscapes without excessive sun glare. On arrival, this side frequently offers a direct view of the Brisbane city skyline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🚢

Singapore Strait

A dense concentration of global shipping vessels clustered around the Riau Islands immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Belitung Island

Stunning turquoise coastal waters and white sand fringes visible while crossing the Java Sea.

🌊

Gulf of Carpentaria

The vast, shallow expanse of water where the plane enters Australian territory, often reflecting a deep azure.

🏖️

Sunshine Coast

Long stretches of pristine white beaches and coastal lagoons visible during the initial descent phase.

⛰️

Glass House Mountains

Distinctive volcanic plugs that rise sharply from the flat coastal plains of South East Queensland.

Choose this side if you are on an overnight flight arriving in the morning, as you will witness a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. During the day, it is better for spotting the Great Barrier Reef if the flight path tracks slightly further north than usual. Keep your window shade open during the final 20 minutes of flight for the best coastal views.
