Princess Royal Harbour
Aerial views of Albany's deep-water port and the rugged Torndirrup National Park coastline immediately after takeoff.
Stirling Range
A glimpse of the ancient mountain peaks, including Bluff Knoll, which stands out starkly against the surrounding flat plains.
Wheatbelt Patchwork
Vast agricultural landscapes showing intricate patterns of golden wheat fields and green pastures during the mid-flight segment.
Perth Metropolitan Area
On descent, enjoy views of the Swan River and the Perth CBD skyline as the plane aligns for its final approach into PER.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, illuminating the coastline and the Stirling Ranges. During sunset flights, this side provides a stunning view of the horizon over the Indian Ocean as you near the capital.

Porongurup Range
Visible shortly after departure, these ancient granite domes provide a unique geological contrast to the southern landscape.
Salt Lakes
A series of shimmering white and pink salt lakes scattered throughout the interior, particularly striking in the dry summer months.
Darling Scarp
The dense Jarrah and Karri forests of the Perth Hills provide a lush green border as you transition toward the coast.
Mundaring Weir
Look for this historic dam and reservoir nestled within the state forest just before the aircraft begins its final descent into Perth.
Sit on the right ('F' seat) for the best views of the Darling Scarp and the interior salt lakes. Avoid late afternoon flights if you choose this side, as the sun can be quite intense through the window. Look for the sharp 'edge' of the Darling Scarp where the hills drop off into the Swan Coastal Plain.
