Adelaide CBD and Hills
Aerial views of the city grid and the lush green slopes of the Adelaide Hills during initial climb.
Flinders Ranges
Breathtaking views of the ancient, jagged mountain peaks and the vast natural amphitheater of Wilpena Pound.
Mid North Farmlands
Geometric patterns of wheat fields and grazing land that shift colors with the seasons.
Olympic Dam Mine
The massive open-cut and underground mining infrastructure visible as the aircraft descends into OLP.
Morning flights are spectacular on this side as the rising sun illuminates the red ridges of the Flinders Ranges. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the mine site during landing.

Gulf St Vincent
Deep blue waters and the distinctive coastline of the Yorke Peninsula shortly after takeoff.
Lake Torrens
The immense, shimmering white expanse of Australia's second-largest salt lake stretching to the horizon.
Arid Scrublands
The transition from Mediterranean climate to the iconic red dirt and low scrub of the Australian Outback.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare while viewing the crystalline surfaces of salt lakes. Keep an eye out for the stark contrast where the blue gulf meets the red desert sands.
