Which side of the plane to sit from Brisbane International Airport (Brisbane) to Bundaberg Airport (Bundaberg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a continuous panorama of the Queensland coastline, including the Sunshine Coast and the western fringes of K'gari.
Moreton Bay & Bribie Island
Crystal clear waters and the long stretch of Bribie Island immediately after takeoff.
The Sunshine Coast
Iconic beaches spanning from Caloundra up to the Noosa Headland.
K'gari (Fraser Island)
The southern end and western coastline of the world's largest sand island are often visible.
Hervey Bay
Beautiful turquoise waters of the bay, a famous humpback whale nursery from July to November.
Burnett River
The winding river guiding the aircraft's final approach into the Bundaberg region.
Sit on the right side for morning departures to have the sun behind you for better photos of the coast. Use polarized lenses to see through the water reflections of Moreton Bay and Hervey Bay. Landmarks appear quickly on this short 45-minute hop.
Brisbane Northern Suburbs
Expansive views of the northern Brisbane sprawl and Pine Rivers during the initial ascent.
Glass House Mountains
Stunning aerial perspectives of ancient volcanic plugs like Mount Beerwah and Mount Tibrogargan.
Agricultural Patchwork
Rich green and brown patterns of the Mary Valley and Gympie farming regions.
Mount Walsh National Park
Distinguished granite peaks and rugged terrain visible as you move further inland.
The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Great Dividing Range. Watch for the dramatic silhouette of the Glass House Mountains within the first 10-15 minutes of departure.
