Flight Path

Flight path overview

The flight crosses the Savu Sea and Flores Sea. Midway, you'll pass near or over several small islands including Komodo National Park islands (Komodo, Rinca) to the east of the direct track. The waters show the transition from the deeper Flores Sea (east) to the shallower Bali Strait (west). Mount Rinjani on Lombok becomes visible on the left (east) side during the latter half of the flight, appearing as a distant peak. The approach to Bali shows the island's volcanic spine with Mount Agung dominating the northern landscape.
