Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Broome International Airport (Broome)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the stunning Coral Coast, featuring the turquoise waters of the Ningaloo Reef and the dramatic red peninsulas of Shark Bay.
Shark Bay
View the UNESCO-listed marine park where bright red sands of Francois Peron National Park meet shallow turquoise lagoons.
Ningaloo Reef
Spot the world's largest fringing coral reef, visible as a distinct white surf line separating the deep blue ocean from the inner lagoon.
Shell Beach
A striking snow-white arc in the Shark Bay region composed of billions of tiny white shells.
Abrolhos Islands
A cluster of 122 islands and coral reefs located approximately 60km off the coast of Geraldton.
Zuytdorp Cliffs
Dramatic limestone cliffs that rise 170 meters vertically from the Indian Ocean for over 150 kilometers.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The most spectacular coastal views begin approximately 45 minutes after departure from Perth and continue for over an hour. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion over the reef.
Lake Macleod
A massive salt lake near Carnarvon featuring intricate white crusts and geometric evaporation patterns.
The Pilbara Ranges
Vast stretches of ancient, iron-rich red earth and rugged mountain ranges that characterize the Australian outback.
Mining Infrastructure
Glimpse the scale of WA's resource industry through massive open-cut mines and long ore train tracks.
Roebuck Bay
On the final approach into Broome, see the intense contrast between the red pindan soil and the milky blue waters of the bay.
Kennedy Range
A large plateau rising from the desert floor with spectacular red sandstone cliffs and canyons.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights, as the setting sun brings out the deep oranges and reds of the desert landscape. Keep a close eye out during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the iconic aerial view of Broome's coastline and the turquoise waters surrounding the peninsula.
