Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Perth to Brisbane. Right-side seats provide superior views on both legs: Rottnest Island and the Indian Ocean during Perth departure, then the flight path northward along the Western Australian coast offers glimpses of the Abrolhos Islands and the Indian Ocean for much of the journey. Landing views favor left, but the extended right-side visibility during the longer climb-out and cruise phases makes right the overall winner.

During takeoff from Perth International (PER), sit on the Right side for the best views. Perth typically departs runway 03 (northbound) or 21 (southbound). Right-side seats offer views of the Swan River estuary and Perth's northern suburbs during climb-out. If departing 21 southbound, right seats show the Indian Ocean coastline and Rottnest Island in the distance. Notable sights include: Swan River estuary, Perth CBD skyline, Rottnest Island (visible as a small landmass 12 nm offshore), Darling Range escarpment to the east.

When landing at Brisbane International (BNE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Brisbane typically lands runway 01L/01R (northbound) or 19L/19R (southbound). Left-side seats during descent show the Brisbane River's distinctive loops through the city, South Bank Parklands, and the CBD cluster. The river's meanders are a striking visual landmark during final approach. Notable sights include: Brisbane River with its characteristic loops, Brisbane CBD high-rises, South Bank Parklands (green space), Moreton Bay and islands to the east.

The flight from Perth International (PER) to Brisbane International (BNE) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses inland from Perth, passing east of the Darling Range, then tracks northeastward across inland Western Australia. The Gascoyne region and sparse interior landscape dominate the midpoint. As the aircraft approaches Queensland, the landscape gradually transitions from semi-arid scrubland to more vegetated terrain. The Great Dividing Range becomes visible on the left (west) side as a subtle ridge during descent into Brisbane. No major water bodies or cities are visible during the cruise phase—this is largely remote interior Australia.
