Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Brisbane to Adelaide. Takeoff views from the right are significantly more dramatic with the Brisbane River and Moreton Bay, outweighing the landing advantage of the left side's Adelaide Hills. The flight path itself crosses inland terrain with limited distinctive features.

During takeoff from Brisbane International (BNE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side seats capture the Brisbane River's distinctive loops and meanders through the city center as you climb out, plus the Moreton Bay islands strung along the coast. Left side faces inland toward the western suburbs with less dramatic geography. Notable sights include: Brisbane River with its tight oxbow bends, Moreton Bay and its island chain (North Stradbroke, Moreton Island), Bayside suburbs and waterfront districts, Brisbane CBD skyline.

When landing at Adelaide International (ADL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides views of Adelaide's Hills to the east and the city's grid layout approaching from the north. You'll see the Mount Lofty Ranges rising distinctly and the Torrens River valley. Right side faces the flat Adelaide Plains with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Mount Lofty Ranges and Adelaide Hills, Torrens River valley, Adelaide city grid and CBD, Gulf St. Vincent coastline.

The flight from Brisbane International (BNE) to Adelaide International (ADL) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses inland New South Wales and northern Victoria, passing west of the Great Dividing Range. Notable features include the Darling Downs region west of Brisbane (agricultural plains), the inland river systems of the Murray-Darling Basin (visible as linear green corridors), and the transition from subtropical to temperate landscape. Around the midpoint near the NSW-Victoria border, you'll see the relatively flat inland plateau. The approach to Adelaide descends over the Adelaide Hills and Mount Lofty Ranges, which form a distinct geographic barrier between the hills and the coastal plains.
