BNE β PPP
Which side of the plane to sit from Brisbane International Airport (Brisbane) to Proserpine Whitsunday Coast Airport (Prosserpine)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the Queensland coastline, featuring the world's largest sand island and the stunning turquoise waters of the Whitsunday region.
Moreton Bay & Bribie Island
Crystal clear shallow waters, sandbanks, and marine parks visible immediately after takeoff.
Noosa Headland
The iconic curve of Laguna Bay and the white sands of the Sunshine Coast beaches.
K'gari (Fraser Island)
The world's largest sand island, showcasing massive dunes, perched lakes, and 75-Mile Beach.
Great Barrier Reef Fringes
Turquoise coral cays and the southern reaches of the reef system visible in clear conditions.
Whitsunday Islands
Breathtaking aerial views of the archipelago's turquoise waters as the aircraft descends into PPP.
The right side is essential for coastal enthusiasts. Approximately 25 minutes into the flight, look for the unique geography of K'gari. During the descent into Proserpine, the aircraft often turns over the coast, providing a panoramic view of the Whitsunday Islands. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the ocean's turquoise hues.
Glass House Mountains
Dramatic volcanic peaks rising sharply from the coastal plain shortly after departure from BNE.
Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Lush green ridges and subtropical rainforest canopies stretching toward the Blackall Range.
Bundaberg Farmland
A distinct patchwork of rich red volcanic soil and emerald green sugar cane fields.
Fitzroy River
The massive, winding river system snaking through the landscape near Rockhampton.
Sugar Cane Estates
Vast agricultural plains surrounding Proserpine, particularly vibrant during the crushing season.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the Glass House Mountains without engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Great Dividing Range to the west with high clarity and minimal glare.
