Ngurah Rai Airport in Denpasar typically uses runway 09 for arrivals from the east, approaching over the Bali Strait and the southern coast. The right side on approach gives views of the Bukit Peninsula, Jimbaran Bay, and the southern Bali coastline. The left side faces open ocean. Notable sights include: Bukit Peninsula, Jimbaran Bay, Kuta Beach coastline, southern Bali rice terraces and urban Denpasar.
