Sydney Skyline
A distant but panoramic view of the CBD, Harbour Bridge, and Opera House as the plane turns west.
Blue Mountains
Stunning vistas of the Great Dividing Range, featuring deep valleys and ancient rock formations.
Warragamba Dam
The massive reservoir providing Sydney's water, nestled within a restricted catchment wilderness.
Central West Slopes
The transition from rugged mountains to the sprawling wheat and sheep country of New South Wales.
Canola Fields
During spring (September-October), the landscape transforms into a patchwork of brilliant yellow squares.
The right side is essential for seeing the Blue Mountains escarpment. Late afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the setting sun highlights the orange hues of the sandstone cliffs. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze over the mountain scenery.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Sydney coastline during the initial climb. This side is also better in the morning to keep the sun behind you as you fly westward. Keep an eye out for the white wind turbines dotting the hills near Goulburn.
