Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Perth to Canberra. Right-side seats offer superior views for the majority of the flight. The takeoff provides excellent urban and coastal scenery, and although left wins for landing, the right side captures more of the mid-flight geography including the transition from coastal plains to inland terrain.

During takeoff from Perth Jandakot (JAD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Swan River estuary and Perth's urban sprawl as the aircraft climbs eastward. The city's western suburbs and the Indian Ocean coastline are visible during the initial climb-out before the aircraft turns southeast toward Canberra. Notable sights include: Swan River estuary, Perth city center and western suburbs, Indian Ocean coastline, Darling Range foothills to the east.

When landing at Canberra (CBR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Canberra, particularly of the Brindabella Range to the west and the city's planned layout with Lake Burley Griffin as the aircraft approaches from the west. The surrounding bushland and the ACT's distinctive geography are most visible from the left side. Notable sights include: Brindabella Range, Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra's radial street pattern and central basin, surrounding eucalyptus bushland.

The flight from Perth Jandakot (JAD) to Canberra (CBR) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses inland from Perth, passing over the Darling Range, then across the Western Australian wheatbelt and mallee scrubland. As the aircraft moves eastward, it crosses into New South Wales, passing south of the Great Dividing Range. Notable features include the Murray River valley (visible from altitude as a green corridor through drier terrain), the transition from semi-arid bushland to more temperate forest as the aircraft approaches the ACT, and the Brindabella Range west of Canberra. The flight generally maintains a southeast heading, with the most dramatic terrain changes occurring in the final 45 minutes as the aircraft descends toward the ACT's elevated plateau.
