Which side of the plane to sit from Adelaide International Airport (Adelaide) to Mount Gambier Airport (Mount Gambier)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a spectacular vantage point for the iconic Coorong National Park, the rugged Southern Ocean coastline, and the turquoise waters of the Limestone Coast.
Fleurieu Peninsula
Follow the coastline south past popular beaches like Moana and Aldinga towards Victor Harbor.
The Coorong
A stunning 130km stretch of saltwater lagoons separated from the ocean by towering sand dunes.
Southern Ocean
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue ocean and the white surf crashing against the cliffs.
Robe and Beachport
The historic coastal towns and the strikingly bright turquoise waters of the Limestone Coast bays.
Mount Schank
A remarkably symmetrical dormant volcanic cone visible as you begin your final descent into Mount Gambier.
The Right Side is the clear winner for coastal geography. Aim for a seat behind the wing to capture the full scale of the Coorong. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun reflects off the ocean and coastal lagoons.
Adelaide CBD
Aerial view of the city's unique parkland-surrounded grid layout immediately after takeoff.
Mount Lofty Ranges
The rolling green hills and valleys that form the backdrop to the Adelaide plains.
Lake Alexandrina
The massive freshwater lake at the end of the River Murray system.
Limestone Coast Inland
The productive agricultural patchwork of southeast South Australia's farming heartland.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Adelaide Hills. This side is also better for spotting the winding path of the Murray River as it approaches the ocean.
