Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denpasar to Abu Dhabi. While takeoff offers good volcanic scenery on the right, the landing approach provides more sustained and visually distinctive features—the Persian Gulf's color gradations, salt marshes, and coastal infrastructure are more impressive than the inland desert approach from the right side.

During takeoff from Bali International (DPS), sit on the Right side for the best views. DPS typically departs to the north or northeast. Right-side seats offer views of Mount Agung and the volcanic ridge system that defines eastern Bali's skyline during initial climb. Left side faces the Bali Sea with less distinctive features. Notable sights include: Mount Agung (3,142m, visible as a prominent peak on the horizon), the Batur caldera complex to the northwest, the northern Bali coastline along the Bali Sea, and the terraced agricultural valleys of central Bali.

When landing at Abu Dhabi International (AUH), sit on the Left side for the best views. AUH typically lands from the northwest on runways 31L/31R. Left-side seats during descent provide clear views of the Persian Gulf coastline, the Abu Dhabi coastal salt marshes, and the city's waterfront development. Right side faces inland desert with minimal visual interest. Notable sights include: The Persian Gulf with its distinctive turquoise shallow waters and darker deep-water channels, Abu Dhabi's coastal salt marshes and sabkha flats (bright white salt deposits), the Sheikh Zayed Bridge and coastal highway infrastructure, and the urban sprawl of Abu Dhabi city extending inland.

The flight from Bali International (DPS) to Abu Dhabi International (AUH) takes Approximately 5 hours 45 minutes to 6 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. Notable features include the Strait of Hormuz region (visible only on northern routing variants), the Oman coastline with its distinctive fjord-like wadis and mountain ranges (Hajar Mountains), and the transition from open ocean to the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf approaching the UAE coast. The Musandam Peninsula's rugged terrain may be visible on some flight paths.
