Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of Australia's red interior and a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Indonesian archipelago during the mid-flight crossing.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Glass House Mountains

Dramatic volcanic plugs rising from the Sunshine Coast hinterland shortly after takeoff from Brisbane.

🏜️

The Red Centre

Vast, mesmerizing patterns of the Simpson Desert's parallel sand dunes and arid riverbeds.

🌊

Joseph Bonaparte Gulf

The rugged coastline where the Northern Territory meets the Timor Sea, featuring deep turquoise estuaries.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Rinjani

The massive, often cloud-shrouded volcanic peak on Lombok Island visible during the crossing of the Indonesian chain.

🏝️

Riau Archipelago

A dense cluster of tropical islands including Bintan and Batam as the plane begins its final approach.

For daytime flights, the left side avoids the harshest equatorial sun glare for most of the journey. Seat yourself behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Indonesian volcanoes. If flying an evening service, this side offers spectacular sunsets over the Java Sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
πŸ–οΈ

Moreton Bay

Stunning views of North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands' white sands and clear blue waters right after departure.

🐊

Gulf of Carpentaria

The sweeping curve of northern Australia's coastline and the remote wilderness of Arnhem Land.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Timor Island

Aerial views of the rugged mountainous terrain of Timor-Leste and Indonesian West Timor.

🚒

Singapore Strait

One of the world's busiest maritime lanes, packed with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers waiting to dock.

πŸ™οΈ

Marina Bay Skyline

On specific landing patterns (Runway 20), you may see the iconic Marina Bay Sands and the central business district.

The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on overnight flights departing Brisbane late. During the monsoon season (Nov-Mar), look out for incredible towering cumulonimbus clouds and lightning displays over the Timor Sea, which are best viewed from this side.
