Hunter Valley Vineyards
Spot the neatly arranged rows of world-famous vineyards as the plane traverses the Hunter region.
Central Coast Lagoons
See the stunning blue waters of Lake Macquarie and the Tuggerah Lakes as you approach the coast.
Sydney Harbour
On a standard northern approach, you get a front-row seat to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
Northern Beaches
Golden sands and surf breaks from Palm Beach down to Manly are visible during the descent.
Book a window seat on the left (Port side) for the highest chance of seeing the Sydney Opera House. On morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the coastline without glare. During descent, look for the 'Q' pattern of the Hunter River near Maitland.

Liverpool Range
The dramatic volcanic peaks and high ridges of the Great Dividing Range visible mid-flight.
Wollemi National Park
Look down upon the vast, untouched wilderness of the Blue Mountains World Heritage area.
Blue Mountains Canyons
Spot the deep sandstone canyons and dense eucalyptus forests on the western approach path.
Parramatta CBD
As you enter the Sydney basin, view the growing skyline of Sydney's 'second city' to the west.
The right side is ideal for nature lovers wanting to see the deep wilderness of Wollemi and the Blue Mountains. If the wind is blowing from the south, planes may land toward the north, giving the right side a better view of Botany Bay and the southern cliffs. In the late afternoon, expect significant glare as the sun sets to the west.
