Which side of the plane to sit from Karratha Airport (Karratha) to Perth International Airport (Perth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft is superior as it tracks the dramatic Western Australian coastline, offering views of turquoise coral reefs, world-heritage marine parks, and unique pink salt lakes.
Search flights from KTA to PER
Dampier Archipelago
A stunning collection of 42 islands and islets visible immediately after departing Karratha.
Shark Bay
The vibrant blue waters and white sandy peninsulas of this World Heritage area, including Dirk Hartog Island.
Hutt Lagoon
A spectacular bright pink salt lake located near Gregory, visible roughly 45 minutes before landing.
Turquoise Coast
The pristine white sand dunes and crystal-clear waters of Jurien Bay and Lancelin during the descent.
Perth Coastal Strip
A panoramic view of the Indian Ocean meeting the Perth metropolitan beaches as the plane turns for its final approach.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery. Sit here on afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while viewing the coastline. Be ready with your camera specifically over Shark Bay and Hutt Lagoon, as the colors are exceptionally vivid from 30,000 feet. In winter, keep an eye out for migrating whales closer to the shore.

Hamersley Range
Ancient, iron-rich red rock formations and rugged gorges of the Pilbara region shortly after takeoff.
WA Wheatbelt
Vast geometric patterns of gold and green agricultural land that dominate the mid-to-late section of the flight.
Darling Scarp
The forested escarpment that marks the edge of the Perth Hills during the final descent into the city.
The left side is best for morning flights when the sun illuminates the red Pilbara earth. Focus on the contrasting colors of the arid interior and the organized beauty of the Wheatbelt's agriculture. During descent, look for the reservoirs and dams nestled within the Darling Ranges.
