Melbourne has been named the world's most liveable city for seven consecutive years, and for good reason.
This stylish metropolis has plenty to see, including the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Port Phillip Bay, or Eureka Tower.

During the flight, the pilot will take you over/around Melbourne.
As the flight path is determined by the wind direction, you may find yourself floating above skyscrapers, above suburbs, or a mix of both.
