MYA → SYD
Which side of the plane to sit from Moruya Airport (Moruya) to Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (Sydney)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the stunning New South Wales coastline, featuring the turquoise waters of Jervis Bay and the iconic Sydney skyline during the final approach.
Jervis Bay
Incredible views of some of the world's whitest sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Sea Cliff Bridge
The iconic winding bridge that hugs the coastline along the Grand Pacific Drive.
Royal National Park
Ancient coastal cliffs and secluded beaches leading into southern Sydney.
Sydney Harbour
Panoramic views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge when landing from the north.
Botany Bay
The historic landing site of Captain Cook and the bustling Sydney container terminals.
The right side is superior for coastal scenery. For the best experience on the Rex Saab 340 aircraft, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of Jervis Bay. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the coastal cliffs from the west.
Illawarra Escarpment
Dramatic sandstone cliffs that form the backdrop to the Wollongong region.
Lake Illawarra
A vast coastal lagoon situated between the mountains and the ocean.
Budderoo National Park
Lush rainforest plateaus and waterfalls visible in the distance to the west.
Port Kembla
Observation of the massive industrial infrastructure and shipping hubs.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun glare. This side offers better views of the rugged Great Dividing Range and the industrial architecture of the Illawarra region. Watch for the 'Big Merino' landmark near Goulburn if the flight path tracks slightly further inland.
