Which side of the plane to sit from Geraldton Airport (Geraldton) to Perth International Airport (Perth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides an incredible vantage point over the Indian Ocean coastline, featuring the Turquoise Coast, white sand dunes, and the unique formations of the Pinnacles Desert.
The Turquoise Coast
Uninterrupted views of the vibrant blue Indian Ocean and the fringing coral reefs near Jurien Bay.
Jurien Bay Marine Park
Clear views of small offshore islands and the limestone reef systems popular for sea lion spotting.
Pinnacles Desert
Look for the distinct yellow sands of Nambung National Park where thousands of limestone pillars rise from the dunes.
Lancelin Sand Dunes
Massive, stark white sand dunes that create a brilliant contrast against the deep blue of the ocean.
Perth Coastline
Enjoy a scenic view of Perth's famous beaches like Hillarys and Scarborough as the plane aligns for its final approach.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal scenery. For the best photography, aim for a midday flight when the sun is overhead to capture the full saturation of the turquoise water. On evening flights, this side offers a front-row seat to the sunset over the Indian Ocean. Be sure to look closely around Cervantes to spot the yellow patches of the Pinnacles Desert.
Greenough Flats
Witness the unique agricultural landscape and the area famous for its 'leaning trees' shaped by coastal winds.
Mount Lesueur National Park
Fly over a global biodiversity hotspot featuring rugged mesas and diverse kwongan heathland.
Inland Salt Lakes
Spot various salt pans and ephemeral lakes that change color from brilliant white to pink depending on the season.
Swan Valley Vineyards
As you descend into Perth, look for the lush green patches of Western Australia's oldest grape-growing region.
Perth Northern Suburbs
Observe the rapid urban expansion and geometric layouts of the northern corridors along the Mitchell Freeway.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a great perspective on the vastness of the Western Australian Wheatbelt and the Darling Scarp on approach. Look for the contrast between the dry inland shrubland and the developed metropolitan area during the final ten minutes of the flight.
