Which side of the plane to sit from Learmonth Airport (Learmonth) to Perth International Airport (Perth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the stunning Coral Coast, featuring the turquoise waters of Shark Bay and the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Indian Ocean coastline.
Ningaloo Reef
The southern sections of the world-heritage reef are often visible shortly after departure if the flight path hugs the coast.
Shark Bay
Breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoons and the rusty red sands of Francois Peron National Park.
Dirk Hartog Island
The historic island and Steep Point, the westernmost point of the Australian mainland.
Zuytdorp Cliffs
Staggering limestone cliffs that drop vertically into the churning white foam of the Indian Ocean for miles.
Rottnest Island
On the descent into Perth, look for the clear blue waters and salt lakes of WA's favorite holiday island.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal scenery. Book an afternoon flight to experience a spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 25 minutes into the flight for the most vibrant water colors over Shark Bay.
Exmouth Gulf
Expansive views of the calm, shallow waters of the gulf immediately following departure from Learmonth.
Lake Macleod
A massive, shimmering salt lake near Carnarvon that creates striking white and ochre textures from above.
Gascoyne Agriculture
Patches of vivid green plantation land along the Gascoyne River, contrasting sharply with the surrounding desert.
WA Wheatbelt
Large-scale geometric patterns of inland farming fields as the flight progresses toward southern Western Australia.
Darling Scarp
The forested hills and suburban fringes of the Perth hills during the final approach into the capital.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. This side is better for observing the 'Red Centre' style terrain and the seasonal changes in the inland agricultural zones.
