Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the dramatic peaks of Taiwan's central range, the stunning island chains of the Philippines, and a prime view of Bali's iconic Mount Agung during the descent.
Taiwan Central Range
Dramatic views of Taiwan's rugged mountain spine shortly after departing from Taoyuan.
Luzon Coastline
The western shores of the Philippines, featuring lush green landscapes and coastal reefs.
Palawan Archipelago
Views of the world-famous turquoise waters and limestone formations of the Palawan island group.
Borneo Wilderness
Distant views of the vast tropical rainforests of Kalimantan as you cross the equator.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and most sacred volcano, often visible during the initial descent into Denpasar.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare while viewing the Philippines. Keep your camera ready roughly 30 minutes before landing; if the flight approaches from the north, Mount Agung provides a spectacular welcome to the island.
South China Sea
Vast, deep blue oceanic vistas stretching toward the horizon of mainland Southeast Asia.
Spratly Islands
Tiny coral atolls and remote reefs visible during clear weather in the middle of the sea.
Equatorial Sunset
Intense orange and purple hues over the horizon on late afternoon flight schedules.
Java Sea Maritime
High density of shipping vessels and traditional fishing boats as you approach the Indonesian archipelago.
Benoa Toll Road
The impressive 'floating' highway over the sea visible during the final seconds of the landing approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the water. During the final approach into DPS, look out for the Mandara Toll Road and the southern cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula if the plane circles for a western landing.
