Great Dividing Range
Dramatic views of the eastern escarpment as the flight crosses the rugged mountain range south of Toowoomba.
Hunter Valley
Patterned rows of vineyards and lush green pastures of Australia's oldest wine region near Cessnock.
NSW Central Coast
Spectacular views of coastal lagoons like Lake Macquarie and Tuggerah Lake meeting the Pacific Ocean.
Sydney Harbour
The best vantage point for the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge when approaching from the north.
Botany Bay
Bird's-eye view of the historic bay and the Port Botany container terminal just before touchdown.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Pacific. On the descent, look for the Hawkesbury River; once crossed, the city skyline will appear shortly after. If the plane lands from the north, you will see the Opera House clearly. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.

Darling Downs
Golden and green agricultural patchwork of the fertile plains immediately after departing Toowoomba.
Wollemi National Park
Expansive views of the remote and rugged sandstone wilderness areas west of the flight path.
Blue Mountains
The characteristic blue haze over the dense eucalyptus forests and deep canyons of the Great Dividing Range.
Western Sydney
The rapid urban sprawl and the emerging high-rises of Parramatta, Sydney's second CBD.
Royal National Park
Pristine coastal cliffs and dense bushland south of the city, visible if the plane circles for a southern approach.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to watch the sky change color over the inland ranges. It offers a great view of the inland geography and the vastness of the Blue Mountains. During certain wind conditions, you may get an excellent view of the southern beaches and the Royal National Park if approaching from the south.
