On departure, look back for the iconic basaltic monolith and the famous underwater waterfall illusion near the coast.
Rottnest Island
The premier highlight of the approach, featuring white sand beaches and distinct turquoise salt lakes.
Perth City Skyline
A spectacular view of the CBD skyscrapers situated along the shimmering curves of the Swan River.
Fremantle Port
The historic harbor city and its bustling docks are clearly visible during the standard approach to Runway 03.
Kings Park
One of the world's largest inner-city parks, identifiable by its dense greenery adjacent to the city center.
The right side offers shaded, glare-free viewing since the sun remains to the north. For the best arrival experience into Perth, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the full panorama of Rottnest Island and the Swan River. Most international flights arrive in the evening or early morning, so look for the sparkling city lights.

Ningaloo Coast
If the flight path trends slightly north, the arid beauty and fringing reefs of the upper WA coast are visible.

The sun is typically to the north of this flight path. Sit on the left for bright, direct light, but be prepared for glare during mid-day travel. This side is better if you hope to see northern coastal features like Shark Bay.
