Flight Path

Flight path overview

The flight path crosses the Java Sea heading southeast. At midpoint (around 37 minutes), you'll be over open water with no major landmarks visible—just the Java Sea's blue expanse. The transition from Java's volcanic landscape to Bali's volcanic landscape is marked by the Lombok Strait's deeper blue waters. Bali's interior volcanic ridge becomes visible on the right (east) side as you approach, with Mount Agung dominating the landscape 30-40 miles before landing.
