Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular sequence of Indonesia's most iconic volcanoes including Tambora, Rinjani, and Agung, plus the rare sight of equatorial glaciers in Papua.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Sudirman Range

The snow-capped peaks of Puncak Jaya, the highest point in Oceania, visible shortly after departing Timika.

🦎

Komodo National Park

A bird's-eye view of the labyrinthine islands and pink sand beaches of the Komodo archipelago.

🌋

Mount Tambora

The massive 6km-wide caldera on Sumbawa island, site of the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history.

⛰️

Mount Rinjani

Lombok's towering volcano featuring the Segara Anak crater lake nestled inside its rim.

🕉️

Mount Agung

Bali's most sacred and highest peak, greeting you as the aircraft prepares for its landing sequence.

This is a premier scenic route. For the best visibility of the Papuan glaciers, book a morning flight before clouds build up over the mountains. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes before landing to catch the 'Volcano Alley' stretching from Sumbawa to Bali. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the deep volcanic craters.

🌊

Arafura Sea

Vast stretches of turquoise and deep blue waters as you leave the coast of West Papua.

🏝️

Sumba Island

Distant views of the rugged southern coastline and the unique arid landscapes of Sumba.

🏖️

Nusa Penida Cliffs

Dramatic limestone cliffs and the famous T-Rex shaped Kelingking Beach visible during the final descent.

🌅

Indian Ocean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the horizon, particularly stunning during late afternoon gold-hour flights.

Choose this side if you are flying during the late afternoon to capture the sunset over the Indian Ocean. During the final approach into Ngurah Rai, look out for the massive Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue and the Benoa Toll Road stretching across the water.
