ADL → CED
Which side of the plane to sit from Adelaide International Airport (Adelaide) to Ceduna Airport (Ceduna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the South Australian coastline, showcasing the turquoise waters of the gulfs and the rugged, white-sand bays of the Eyre Peninsula.
Gulf St Vincent
Panoramic views of the crystalline waters separating Adelaide from the Yorke Peninsula.
Southern Yorke Peninsula
Aerial view of the rugged coastal cliffs and isolated beaches near Troubridge Hill.
Spencer Gulf
The deep blue expanse of the second major gulf, often with cargo ships visible in the distance.
Venus Bay
A stunning, naturally sheltered circular bay with a narrow opening to the Great Australian Bight.
Anxious Bay
Long stretches of pristine white beaches and turquoise reefs near the township of Elliston.
Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the vivid blues and greens of the coastal waters. This side is also superior for spotting southern right whales during the winter migration months (June to September) as you approach the coastline near Ceduna.
Northern Adelaide
Views of the metropolitan sprawl and the industrial ports of Adelaide shortly after takeoff.
Yorke Peninsula Farmland
A geometric patchwork of gold and green agricultural fields stretching across the peninsula.
Ephemeral Salt Lakes
Inland salt pans that turn bright pink or brilliant white depending on the recent rainfall and mineral content.
Gawler Ranges
The distant, hazy silhouette of ancient volcanic hills visible to the north on clear days.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare reflecting off the Southern Ocean. Keep a lookout for the 'pink lakes' scattered throughout the Eyre Peninsula interior, which are most vibrant during the late spring and summer months when water evaporates.
