Which side of the plane to sit from Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport (Kalgoorlie) to Adelaide International Airport (Adelaide)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular visual journey as the aircraft transitions from the arid red center to the deep blue of the Great Australian Bight, concluding with a scenic coastal approach into Adelaide.

Great Australian Bight
The dramatic meeting point where the desert plateau abruptly meets the Southern Ocean.
Eyre Peninsula
Views of the rugged coastline, turquoise bays, and the town of Ceduna.
Spencer Gulf
The crossing of the large inlet between the Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas.
Yorke Peninsula
A patchwork of golden wheat fields and coastal towns as you approach the final descent.
Adelaide Coastline
Panoramic views of Glenelg, Henley Beach, and the metropolitan coast before touchdown.
The Right Side is preferred for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for photography. Watch for the coastline near the Head of Bight; depending on the specific flight corridor, you may see the sheer Bunda Cliffs. During the final approach into ADL, this side typically offers the best views of the city's suburban beaches and the Gulf St Vincent.

KCGM Super Pit
Immediately after takeoff, witness the scale of one of the world's largest open-cut gold mines.
Lake Lefroy
A massive, shimmering white salt lake located just south of Kalgoorlie near Kambalda.
Nullarbor Plain
The vast, treeless expanse of the world's largest limestone karst landscape.
Lake Gairdner
A stunningly white endorheic salt lake that appears like a frozen sea in the South Australian outback.
Flinders Ranges
On the descent, the ancient, folded mountains of the Flinders are visible to the far north.
Choose this side for the best view of the Super Pit immediately after departure from KGI. During morning flights, expect significant sun glare as you travel eastward; look for the shimmering reflections on the numerous salt lakes of the Gawler Craton. If the flight path stays inland, the desolate beauty of the Woomera Prohibited Area is best viewed from this side.
