Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Adelaide International Airport (Adelaide)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Great Australian Bight's dramatic coastline and the massive limestone Bunda Cliffs, while avoiding direct sun glare on this eastbound journey.
Search flights from PER to ADL
Great Australian Bight
Stunning views of the Southern Ocean meeting the edge of the Australian continent in a massive arc.
Bunda Cliffs
Dramatic 100-meter high limestone sea cliffs that stretch for hundreds of kilometers along the coast.
Eyre Peninsula
Deep blue bays, white sandy beaches, and the rugged coastline around Ceduna and Coffin Bay.
Gulf St Vincent
The final descent provides panoramic views of the turquoise waters and the Yorke Peninsula to the west.
Adelaide Coastline
Excellent views of Glenelg beach and the metropolitan coastline during the final approach into ADL.
This is the 'cool' side of the plane with better lighting for photography. The highlight is the Bunda Cliffs; these usually appear about 90 minutes into the flight. If the flight path stays coastal, look for Southern Right Whales in the Bight during the winter months (June to August).

Darling Scarp
Dense forest and granite outcrops of the Darling Range immediately after takeoff from Perth.
WA Wheatbelt
Intricate geometric patterns of vast agricultural lands transitioning from green to gold depending on the season.
Nullarbor Interior
The stark, treeless beauty of the world's largest single exposure of limestone bedrock.
Inland Salt Lakes
Occasional views of shimmering white salt pans like Lake Gairdner appearing as bright scars on the red earth.
Flinders Ranges
The southern tips of the ancient Flinders Ranges visible as the flight approaches the Spencer Gulf.
Sit toward the back to avoid wing obstruction of the vast desert textures. Expect harsh glare in the morning; afternoon flights offer softer light for photographing the red desert hues. Watch for the 'Indian Pacific' railway line which occasionally tracks parallel to the flight path.
