Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denpasar to Surabaya. Right-side seats provide the most dramatic scenery during takeoff with Bali's volcanic mountains, while the landing view from either side is comparable. The takeoff experience outweighs the landing advantage, making right the superior choice for this route.

During takeoff from Bali International (DPS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the volcanic peaks of Mount Agung and Mount Batur as the aircraft climbs northwestward from Denpasar. These mountains dominate Bali's interior and are clearly visible during the initial climb phase before the aircraft turns toward Surabaya. Notable sights include: Mount Agung (3,142 m, Bali's highest peak), Mount Batur (1,717 m), Bali's central highlands, Denpasar city sprawl below.

When landing at Juanda (SUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of the Madura Strait and the approach to Surabaya from the east. As the aircraft descends toward Juanda Airport, left-side passengers see the strait's waters, coastal features of Madura Island, and the urban sprawl of Surabaya itself before touchdown. Notable sights include: Madura Strait, Madura Island's northern coast, Surabaya's urban districts, East Java's coastal plains.

The flight from Bali International (DPS) to Juanda (SUB) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Java Sea northwestward from Bali. At cruise altitude (around 25,000-30,000 feet), passengers may glimpse the Lombok Strait to the east (left side) and the northern coast of Bali receding southward. The Java Sea itself dominates the view—a relatively featureless expanse of blue water with occasional fishing boats visible as tiny specks. As the aircraft approaches East Java, the coastline of Madura Island and the Surabaya region gradually emerge on the horizon. No major mountain ranges are visible during the midpoint cruise phase, as the flight passes over open water between the two islands.
