Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denpasar to Manila. The right side delivers the most dramatic single moment of the flight — the view of Gunung Agung and the Bali coastline on departure — and also captures the Visayas island chain and Sibuyan Sea during the cruise portion as the route tracks north-northwest over the Philippine archipelago. The left side has a slight edge on Manila arrival, but the Bali departure view on the right is the highlight of this route.

During takeoff from Bali International (DPS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Ngurah Rai Airport's primary departure runway (09/27) typically sees northbound departures climbing over or near the Bali coastline. A right-side seat gives you the view back over Kuta Beach, the Bukit Peninsula, and the southern Bali shoreline as the aircraft turns north toward the Bali Sea. The volcanic interior of Bali including Gunung Agung becomes visible to the right as you climb out. Notable sights include: Gunung Agung (3,031m volcano, northeast Bali), Bukit Peninsula and Uluwatu cliffs, Kuta and Seminyak beach strip, Bali Sea coastline curving toward Lombok Strait.

When landing at Ninoy Aquino International (MNL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Ninoy Aquino International typically receives northbound arrivals from the south on runway 06/24 or 13/31 configurations, with approaches often coming over Manila Bay. A left-side seat gives a clear view of Manila Bay, the Pasig River delta, and the Manila city skyline including Makati and Intramuros as the aircraft descends over the bay on final approach. Notable sights include: Manila Bay and its broad arc of coastline, Makati CBD skyline, Intramuros and the Pasig River mouth, Laguna de Bay (large lake visible to the southeast on descent).

The flight from Bali International (DPS) to Ninoy Aquino International (MNL) takes Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes.

The flight tracks north-northwest over the Bali Sea, then crosses the Flores Sea and the southern Visayas. Notable features along the route include the islands of Sumbawa and Flores visible early in the flight to the right, then the Banda Sea, followed by the Visayan islands including Leyte, Cebu, and the Sibuyan Sea as the aircraft approaches Luzon. The Sierra Madre mountain range of eastern Luzon may be visible on the right during descent into Manila.
