Which side of the plane to sit from Ravensthorpe Airport (Ravensthorpe) to Perth International Airport (Perth)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers superior views of the dramatic Stirling Range peaks to the southwest and a higher probability of seeing the Perth CBD and Swan River during the final approach descent.
Stirling Range National Park
Distant but clear views of Western Australia's only true mountain range, including the prominent silhouette of Bluff Knoll.
Lake Grace System
Expansive views of the southern portion of this massive salt lake chain, which creates striking white and pink patterns against the soil.
Dryandra Woodland
One of the last remnants of native vegetation in the Wheatbelt, appearing as a dark green island amidst agricultural land.
Darling Scarp
The dramatic geographic transition where the hills drop off into the Swan Coastal Plain as you approach Perth.
Perth CBD & Swan River
On a standard approach from the south or southeast, this side provides the best angle for the city skyline and river loops.
Book a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Stirling Range roughly 15-20 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain peaks and the Perth skyline without glare.
Lake King
A spectacular series of salt lakes and claypans that glisten brilliantly from high altitudes.
Wheatbelt Mosaic
A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields that change from vibrant green in winter to shimmering gold in early summer.
Mundaring Weir
The historic reservoir in the Perth Hills that serves as the starting point for the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme.
Swan Valley
Lush green vineyards and rural estates visible just before the final descent into Perth Airport.
Lake Magenta Reserve
One of the largest nature reserves in the southern Wheatbelt, showcasing pristine mallee shrublands.
The right side is perfect for morning flights to see the 'sun-glint' off the various salt lakes. Watch for the stark contrast between the natural bushland of the Darling Range and the highly organized agricultural grids of the interior.
