Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Melbourne to Sydney. Right side provides superior views on both legs: the Dandenong Ranges during departure and the Blue Mountains foothills during descent. The northeasterly routing from Melbourne to Sydney naturally favors the right side for geographic features.

During takeoff from Melbourne International (MEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side seats capture the Dandenong Ranges as the aircraft climbs northeast from Melbourne's primary runways (09L/27R or 09R/27L). The ranges form a distinct dark green ridge immediately east of the airport, visible within the first 10-15 minutes of climb. Notable sights include: Dandenong Ranges (forested ridge east of airport), Port Phillip Bay (large water body to the west and south), Yarra River valley (visible as it winds through suburbs), Melbourne CBD skyline (receding to the southwest).

When landing at Sydney Bankstown (BWU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side seats offer views of the Nepean River and the Blue Mountains' foothills as the aircraft descends toward Bankstown from the west. The river valley is a prominent geographic feature on approach, and the western escarpment of the Blue Mountains creates a distinctive ridge line visible during descent. Notable sights include: Nepean River (major river valley running north-south), Blue Mountains foothills (western escarpment visible as elevated terrain), Hawkesbury River (visible to the north as a secondary water feature), Bankstown airfield and surrounding western Sydney suburbs.

The flight from Melbourne International (MEL) to Sydney Bankstown (BWU) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Shoalhaven River region and passes over the Southern Tablelands. The Illawarra escarpment becomes visible on the left side during the descent phase as the aircraft approaches Sydney from the southwest. The Hawkesbury River valley is a notable geographic feature in the final approach corridor to Bankstown.
