Which side of the plane to sit from Broken Hill Airport (Broken Hill) to Adelaide International Airport (Adelaide)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic geographic transition, showcasing the rugged Southern Flinders Ranges and the stark contrast between the red outback and the deep blue waters of the Spencer Gulf.
Search flights from BHQ to ADL
Southern Flinders Ranges
Ancient, weathered mountain peaks including Mount Remarkable, showing off spectacular geological folds and ridges.
Port Pirie
The industrial silhouette of the lead smelter located on the eastern shore of the Spencer Gulf.
Spencer Gulf
The vibrant blue waters of the gulf meeting the red dust of the interior, often dotted with large cargo ships at anchor.
Gulf St Vincent Coastline
White sandy beaches stretching from the LeFevre Peninsula down toward West Beach on final approach.
The right side is superior for geological enthusiasts. Keep your eyes peeled mid-flight for the Flinders Ranges. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east, avoiding the harsh glare reflecting off the gulf waters in the afternoon.
