PLO → ADL
Which side of the plane to sit from Port Lincoln Airport (Port Lincoln) to Adelaide International Airport (Adelaide)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, showcasing the vastness of the Spencer Gulf and providing a stunning coastal entry into Adelaide over the metropolitan beaches like Glenelg.
Boston Bay
One of the largest natural harbors in the world, filled with fishing vessels and tuna pens.
Southern Spencer Gulf
Deep blue waters of the passage where the gulf meets the Southern Ocean.
Innes National Park
The rugged southern tip of the Yorke Peninsula featuring dramatic limestone cliffs and shipwrecks.
Adelaide Coastline
Uninterrupted views of the metropolitan coastline from Brighton through to Glenelg and West Beach.
The right side is best for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the coastline. During the final approach, the plane often tracks along the coast, providing a perfect view of the Adelaide city skyline against the Mount Lofty Ranges.
Louth Bay
Exquisite white sand curves and turquoise shallows visible shortly after departure from Port Lincoln.
Sir Joseph Banks Group
A cluster of twenty islands and reefs scattered across the northern Spencer Gulf, known for marine life.
Northern Yorke Peninsula
Aerial views of the extensive grain-growing regions and the patchwork agricultural landscape.
Port Adelaide
Industrial shipping lanes and the historic maritime precinct visible during the final descent into ADL.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the northern islands. Keep an eye out for the white salt pans near Dry Creek as the plane turns for its final approach from the north.
