Which side of the plane to sit from Wynyard Airport (Burnie) to Launceston Airport (Launceston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) is superior for this short hop as it provides an immediate, dramatic view of Table Cape and continuous vistas of the rugged Great Western Tiers mountain range to the south.
Search flights from BWT to LST
Table Cape
A stunning volcanic plateau that erupts in color during the spring tulip season.
Cradle Mountain
Look inland to see the jagged silhouette of Tasmania's iconic alpine wilderness peaks.
Great Western Tiers
The dramatic north-facing escarpment of the Central Highlands plateau.
Meander Valley
Lush, geometric patterns of high-yield agricultural land and rolling green hills.
Ben Lomond
Distant views of the high alpine plateau and the 'Jacobs Ladder' mountain area.
The right side is essential for seeing Table Cape immediately after takeoff from Wynyard. Fly in October for the best views of the blooming tulip fields, and look for snow caps on the Great Western Tiers during winter months.
