Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual journey, transitioning from the stark, iron-red deserts of the Australian Pilbara to the dense urban neon sprawl of the Pearl River Delta during the descent.
Search flights from PER to CAN
Pilbara Red Earth
The striking contrast of rust-red soil and ancient rocky outcrops across the North West Australian outback.
Mining Infrastructure
View the massive scale of open-cut iron ore mines and the industrial ports of the Port Hedland region.
Indonesian Islets
A mosaic of small, emerald-green islands and coral atolls visible while flying over the Makassar Strait.
Pearl River Delta
The immense urban sprawl, interconnected bridges, and skyscrapers of Shenzhen and Dongguan on the approach.
Guangdong Highlands
Rugged, mist-covered green mountains that define the landscape of Southern China as the plane descends.
For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so keep window shades down early on. The highlight is the approach into Guangzhou; try to identify the Humen Pearl River Bridge and the dense skyscraper clusters of the Greater Bay Area. Winter flights often offer clearer views of the Australian desert but may be hazier over China.

Ningaloo Reef
Aerial views of the vibrant turquoise waters and limestone coastline of Western Australia's Coral Coast.
Borneo Jungles
Vast stretches of dense tropical rainforest and winding river systems while crossing over Kalimantan.
Equatorial Sunset
For afternoon departures, this side provides front-row seats to spectacular sunsets over the South China Sea.
Shipping Lanes
Visualizing the busy maritime traffic and cargo vessels navigating the waters between Indonesia and China.
Select this side for evening flights to capture the sunset. If departing during the day, use a polarizer to cut through the haze over the Indonesian archipelago. Be aware that most of the flight over the ocean can be quite monotonous after crossing the WA coast.
