Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Brisbane skyline during departure and a stunning perspective of the Adelaide Hills and vineyards during the descent into South Australia.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Brisbane River & CBD

Aerial views of the iconic river loops and the dense skyscraper cluster of the Brisbane city center shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Great Dividing Range

The lush, forested peaks of the Scenic Rim and the coastal mountain range as the flight heads inland.

🌾

Darling Downs

Expansive agricultural patchwork of southern Queensland, showcasing vibrant colors and geometric crop patterns.

🌊

Murray River Crossing

The winding, clay-colored ribbon of Australia's longest river system as the plane nears the South Australian border.

🍷

Adelaide Hills & Barossa

The picturesque wine regions and rolling green ridges of the Mt Lofty Ranges during the final approach phase.

Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Brisbane skyline. On morning flights, the left side is the 'shadow side,' minimizing window glare for better photography of the landscape transitions from green ranges to red outback.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌋

Glass House Mountains

Distant volcanic plugs visible on the northern horizon if the flight path tracks north before turning southwest.

🏜️

Arid Interior NSW

Striking views of the red earth, dry salt pans, and rugged textures of the New South Wales outback.

💧

Menindee Lakes

Depending on seasonal rainfall, these inland lakes provide a shimmering blue contrast against the desert floor.

🚤

Gulf St Vincent

Panoramic views of the turquoise waters and the long stretch of Adelaide's metropolitan beaches upon arrival.

🏖️

Glenelg Coastline

A close-up view of the jetty and coastal suburban sprawl just moments before landing at ADL.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Gulf St Vincent as you arrive in Adelaide. Keep an eye out for the rugged Flinders Ranges visible far to the north during the mid-flight cruise.
