Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Perth to Dubai. The takeoff from Perth offers more dramatic and varied scenery (river system, city skyline, ocean, island), while the landing into Dubai is primarily water and distant mountains. Left seats capture the more visually interesting departure phase.

During takeoff from Perth Jandakot (JAD), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats face north and northeast during Perth's typical northbound departure, offering views of the Swan River estuary, Perth city skyline, and the Indian Ocean coastline as the aircraft climbs. Right seats would face inland toward the flat, featureless Darling Range. Notable sights include: Swan River estuary (winding through central Perth), Perth CBD skyline, Rottnest Island (visible offshore to the northwest), Indian Ocean coastline.

When landing at Dubai International (DXB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats face west-southwest during final approach into Dubai, providing views of the Persian Gulf coastline, the Hajar Mountains in the distance, and the Dubai creek system. Left seats would face inland toward the flat desert interior. Notable sights include: Persian Gulf waters (turquoise shallows near coast), Dubai coastline with Palm Jumeirah and artificial islands, Hajar Mountains (distant, on the horizon to the south), Dubai Creek inlet.

The flight from Perth Jandakot (JAD) to Dubai International (DXB) takes Approximately 7 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Indian Ocean for roughly 3,000 nautical miles with no significant landmarks visible—open ocean throughout the middle segment. As the aircraft approaches the Arabian Peninsula (around 4-5 hours into flight), the Strait of Hormuz becomes visible, followed by the Oman coastline with the Hajar Mountains running parallel to the shore. The flight then tracks northwest across the Gulf of Oman and into the Persian Gulf, with the UAE coastline becoming visible approximately 1 hour before landing at Dubai.
