About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Bali International (DPS)?
When landing at Bali International (DPS), sit on the Left side for the best views. On the typical runway 27 approach, the aircraft flies westward and banks down over Jimbaran Bay just before touchdown, so left-side (south-facing) windows get the best views of the bay, the fishing boats, and the northern edge of the Bukit Peninsula with its cliffs stretching toward Uluwatu. Right-side passengers mostly see Denpasar's urban sprawl and, if clear, distant peaks like Mount Agung, but the coastal scenery is stronger on the left. Notable sights include: Jimbaran Bay, Bukit Peninsula coastline, Uluwatu cliffs in the distance, Indian Ocean horizon.
