Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Kununurra Airport (Kununurra)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of Western Australia's rugged interior, including the iron-rich Pilbara ranges, the vast Great Sandy Desert, and a spectacular descent over Lake Argyle and the Ord River valley.
Search flights from PER to KNX
Great Sandy Desert
Vast stretches of longitudinal red sand dunes and ancient dry riverbeds.
Hamersley Range
The ancient, weathered peaks of the Pilbara, glowing with deep reds and purples.
Open-Cut Mines
Colossal iron ore mines appearing as deep, terraced scars in the earth near Newman.
The Bungle Bungles
The iconic striped sandstone domes of Purnululu National Park visible during the descent.
Lake Argyle
The massive expanse of blue water surrounded by the rugged Carr Boyd Ranges near Kununurra.
Ord River Irrigation Area
Shockingly green patches of farmland that contrast sharply with the surrounding arid landscape.
The right side is the definitive choice for landscape photography. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of Lake Argyle on approach. If flying in the morning, the light will perfectly illuminate the red rock faces of the Kimberley. Watch for the 'beehive' formations of the Bungle Bungles approximately 20 minutes before landing.

Indian Ocean Coastline
Distant views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches as you head north from Perth.
Shark Bay
The unique hooks and peninsulas of this World Heritage area are often visible on clear days.
Port Hedland Hub
A glimpse of the massive iron ore carriers docked at one of the world's busiest bulk commodity ports.
Eighty Mile Beach
The striking line where the Great Sandy Desert meets the Indian Ocean in a continuous stretch of white sand.
Monsoonal Clouds
During the wet season, witness towering cumulus formations building over the ocean.
Sit on the left if you prefer coastal vistas and want to avoid the direct afternoon sun on northbound flights. While the coast is often distant, the contrast between the red earth and the blue sea is striking during the middle portion of the flight.
