Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Brisbane to Avalon. Right side captures the most dramatic and varied scenery across the entire flight: the Brisbane estuary and bay during climb-out (left is better initially), but the right side dominates the descent with Port Phillip Bay, the distinctive You Yangs volcanic range, and Geelong's waterfront. The You Yangs are a genuinely striking landmark visible from altitude and unique to this approach.

During takeoff from Brisbane International (BNE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side captures the Brisbane River estuary and Moreton Bay immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs southwest, so the left wing shows the bay's islands and coastal geography as you gain altitude over the first 10–15 minutes. Notable sights include: Moreton Bay (island chain including North Stradbroke Island), Brisbane River estuary, Redland Bay, coastal suburbs of Brisbane.

When landing at Avalon (AVV), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers views of Port Phillip Bay and the approach corridor into Avalon. As the aircraft descends from the northeast, the right wing shows the bay's western shoreline, the You Yangs volcanic range, and the final approach path over Geelong and surrounding terrain. Notable sights include: Port Phillip Bay, You Yangs (volcanic hills), Geelong waterfront, Bellarine Peninsula.

The flight from Brisbane International (BNE) to Avalon (AVV) takes 2h 15m.

The flight path crosses inland from Brisbane southwest across Queensland and northern New South Wales, passing over the Great Dividing Range foothills (visible as elevated terrain with ridge patterns), then descends across the Victorian plains toward Port Phillip Bay. Notable features include the coastal ranges near the Queensland–NSW border, inland river valleys, and the transition from elevated terrain to the flat Victorian plain approximately 60 miles before Avalon.
