Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Brisbane International Airport (Brisbane)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is typically superior for this route as it offers the iconic Dubai skyline views upon departure and the most dramatic perspectives of the Australian Outback and the Glass House Mountains during the descent into Brisbane.
Burj Khalifa & Downtown
Unmatched views of the world's tallest building and the dense Dubai skyscraper forest on climb-out.
The World Islands
The famous man-made archipelago shaped like a map of the world visible just offshore.
Hamersley Range
Rugged, ancient geological formations and iron-ore rich mountains in the Pilbara region.
Simpson Desert Dunes
Stunning parallel red sand dunes stretching across the horizon near the corners of NT, SA, and QLD.
Glass House Mountains
Dramatic rhyolite volcanic plugs rising from the coastal plain during the final approach to BNE.
Sit on the right for the best chance of seeing the Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai skyline immediately after departure. During the arrival into Brisbane, this side often provides a clearer view of the Moreton Bay islands and the iconic Glass House Mountains peaks.
Dubai Creek and Deira
Aerial views of the historic heart of Dubai and the bustling waterway shortly after takeoff.
Arabian Sea
Vast, deep blue waters as the aircraft exits the UAE and heads toward the Indian subcontinent.
Western Australian Coastline
The striking visual boundary where the red earth of the Pilbara meets the turquoise Indian Ocean.
Tanami Desert
Expansive views of one of Australia's most isolated and arid regions in the Northern Territory.
Channel Country
Unique braided river systems and floodplains of South-West Queensland, stunning after rain.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunrise over the Indian Ocean during the long haul. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid glare, but open it as you cross the Western Australian coastline for incredible red-earth photography.
