Search flights from LST to BWT
Tamar Valley
Immediately after takeoff, view the winding Tamar River and its surrounding cool-climate vineyards.
Devonport Harbor
Look for the Mersey River mouth and the Spirit of Tasmania ferries docked at the terminal.
Bass Strait Coastline
Stunning views of white sand beaches and turquoise waters between Ulverstone and Burnie.
Table Cape
A massive volcanic plateau that juts into the sea, famous for its red soil and spring tulip blooms.
The right side is superior for coastal scenery. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. If flying in late September or October, look for the vibrant colors of the tulip farm atop Table Cape during the final approach.

Great Western Tiers
Dramatic views of the northern edge of the Central Highlands plateau.
Meander Valley
A mosaic of lush green agricultural paddocks and rolling hills.
Mount Roland
The distinctive jagged peaks of Mount Roland dominate the inland skyline near Sheffield.
Cradle Mountain Silhouette
On clear days, the iconic peaks of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area are visible in the distance.
Sit on the left for inland vistas of Tasmania's rugged interior. Mid-afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the escarpments of the Western Tiers, though you may encounter some glare in the late afternoon during winter months.
