Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Ravensthorpe Airport (Ravensthorpe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic views, featuring the Perth skyline and Swan River shortly after takeoff, followed by glimpses of the Stirling Range and the rugged Ravensthorpe Range on arrival.
Perth CBD & Swan River
A classic view of the city skyline and the winding river immediately following a southbound departure.
Stirling Range Peaks
On clear days, the silhouette of Bluff Knoll and the jagged Stirling Range can be seen rising sharply from the flat plains to the southwest.
Ravensthorpe Range
The mineral-rich hills surrounding the town, known for their unique flora and historical mining landscape.
Southern Ocean Horizon
As the flight approaches its destination, look toward the horizon to see the deep blue of the Southern Ocean.
Select a seat toward the back of the aircraft to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the Stirling Range during the descent. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the landscape's textures on this side.
Darling Scarp
View the dramatic rise of the ancient granite plateau as the plane climbs over the Perth Hills.
Lake Grace Salt Lakes
A stunning chain of ephemeral salt lakes that change color from brilliant white to deep pink depending on the season.
Wheatbelt Mosaic
The intricate 'patchwork quilt' effect of Western Australia's agricultural fields, especially vibrant during the green winter months.
Fitzgerald River National Park
Distant views of one of the most botanically diverse regions on Earth, visible as you descend toward Ravensthorpe.
Morning flights are ideal for this side to keep the sun behind you. Keep an eye out for the stark transition from the forested hills to the cleared agricultural land within the first 15 minutes of flight.
