Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Chiang Mai to Denpasar. While takeoff offers good mountain views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic scenery: Mount Agung's iconic volcanic cone and the Bali Strait crossing are more visually distinctive than the northern Thai highlands. Left seats capture the flight's most memorable geographic features.

During takeoff from Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Doi Luang mountain range and the Ping River valley as the aircraft climbs northeastward from CNX. The terrain rises dramatically to the right, providing clear sightlines of the northern Thai highlands. Notable sights include: Doi Luang (2,175m peak visible on horizon), Ping River winding through valley below, Chiang Mai city grid receding westward, forested ridgelines of northern Thailand.

When landing at Bali International (DPS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into DPS. The aircraft approaches from the north, and left-side passengers see Mount Agung (Bali's highest volcano at 3,142m) and the Bali Strait separating Bali from Lombok. The volcanic landscape and coastal approach are visually striking. Notable sights include: Mount Agung volcano (3,142m, often cloud-capped), Bali Strait with Lombok island visible across the water, Denpasar city and coastal plains, terraced rice paddies of central Bali.

The flight from Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) to Bali International (DPS) takes 2h 15m.

Salween River valley (Myanmar-Thailand border region), Andaman Sea coastline near Phang Nga, Phuket island, Strait of Malacca approaches, transition from Thai highlands to Indonesian archipelago with numerous small islands visible in the Andaman Sea and Sunda Strait
