Our Recommendation
9.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🪸

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

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.
