Search flights from BME to KTA
Eighty Mile Beach
An incredible, unbroken stretch of white sand and turquoise water spanning over 200km.
Port Hedland Harbor
The world's largest bulk export port with massive iron ore carriers queued in the shipping lanes.
Dampier Archipelago
A cluster of 42 islands and islets with diverse marine life and rocky outcrops visible on approach.
Indian Ocean Horizon
Unobstructed views of the deep blue Indian Ocean and remote coastal reef systems.
Burrup Peninsula
Industrial infrastructure of the North West Shelf project juxtaposed with ancient rocky landscapes.
The right side is superior for coastal photography, especially during the descent into Karratha over the islands. For afternoon flights, this side offers the best views of the sun setting over the Indian Ocean. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the tropical water glare.

Roebuck Bay
Vibrant red sands meeting turquoise waters immediately after takeoff from Broome.
Great Sandy Desert
The vast, arid expanse of the desert interior stretching toward the horizon.
Inland Mining Operations
Large-scale iron ore mining infrastructure and rail lines visible from cruising altitude.
Coastal Salt Pans
Expansive white and pink geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds near Port Hedland.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Watch for the intense red earth of the Kimberley contrasting with the sea during the initial climb. Mid-flight, look for the massive iron ore trains, which can be over 2km long, snaking through the landscape.
