Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a front-row seat to the volcanic backbone of the Indonesian archipelago, including the dramatic peaks of Sumbawa and the rugged coastlines of Flores and Komodo.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Belitung Island

View the stunning turquoise waters and white sand beaches of this island shortly after departing Singapore.

🌋

Mount Tambora

The massive caldera of this historic volcano on Sumbawa is often visible as you head toward East Nusa Tenggara.

🦎

Komodo National Park

Spot the rugged, brown-and-green terrain of Komodo and Rinca islands surrounded by vibrant coral reefs.

⛰️

Flores Volcanic Chain

A series of active volcanoes and deep bays along the northern coast of Flores Island offer dramatic vertical relief.

🚤

Tiwi Islands

Just before landing, view the lush forests and red-soil cliffs of Bathurst and Melville Islands north of Darwin.

For the most vibrant colors of the Indonesian reefs, opt for a morning flight. The sun will be behind you, highlighting the turquoise shallows of the Savu Sea. Keep your camera ready about 3 hours into the flight for the best volcanic views.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
💎

Karimunjawa Archipelago

Small coral atolls and emerald islands scattered in the Java Sea north of Central Java.

🔥

Mount Rinjani

On clear days, the towering 3,726m peak of Lombok's famous volcano can be seen in the distance.

🌾

Sumba Island

The unique, undulating grasslands and limestone plateaus of Sumba appear as you cross toward the Timor Sea.

🌊

Timor Sea Expanse

A vast stretch of deep blue water often featuring interesting cloud formations and cargo ships.

🏙️

Darwin Approach

Depending on the wind, the right side often gets a sweeping view of Darwin's city center and harbor during descent.

The right side is superior for afternoon or evening flights, offering spectacular sunsets over the Timor Sea as you approach Australia. If the flight path is more southerly, you may get better glimpses of the southern Indonesian islands like Sumba.
