Which side of the plane to sit from Brisbane International Airport (Brisbane) to Cloncurry Airport (Cloncurry)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior lighting conditions throughout the day, as it faces south away from the direct glare of the sun. It provides a stunning view of the transition from the fertile Darling Downs to the vast, arid Channel Country.

Brisbane River and CBD
Aerial views of the winding river and city skyline immediately after departure from BNE.
Darling Downs
Vibrant agricultural patterns and patchwork fields of the fertile inland plains.
Channel Country
Intricate, braided river systems and floodplains that create unique textures in the outback soil.
Vast Southern Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep red and orange landscapes stretching toward the Simpson Desert.
Book an 'A' seat for the best experience. On morning flights, the lighting is soft and brings out the contrast in the red earth. During the summer months, look for large cumulonimbus clouds forming over the interior in the late afternoon.

Glass House Mountains
Distinctive volcanic plugs visible to the north during the initial climb out of the Brisbane basin.
Great Dividing Range
Rugged forested ridges and deep valleys as the plane crosses the coastal mountain divide.
Galilee Basin
Extensive coal mining operations and infrastructure visible as you traverse the central interior.
Selwyn Range
Ancient, rugged mineral-rich hills and rocky outcrops that characterize the approach into Cloncurry.
The right side ('F' seats) can be quite bright due to the northern sun position. It is excellent for spotting large-scale mining operations. Watch for the change in geology near the end of the flight where the flat plains give way to the rocky Selwyn Range.
