"Big Jet Plane" was named Australian Recording Industry Association's Single of the Year for 2010 at the ARIA Music Awards of 2010, while Down the Way was named Album of the Year. The song featured on both Nova 100 and Triple J radio playlists and after winning Single of the Year was added to the playlists of stations such as Fox FM in Melbourne.

The song has received a gold accreditation, having sold over 35,000 copies in Australia.

It gained additional success, especially in Europe, when it was remixed in 2011 as a house track by Australian DJs Goodwill and Hook N Sling, under the title "Take You Higher".

"Big Jet Plane" was recorded by Angus & Julia Stone and released by the duo in 2010 as part of an EP, also titled Big Jet Plane. The EP includes four tracks.

The album cover photography features a Trans Australian Airlines Convair CV-240 piston-powered airplane, as established from the identification characters "VH-TAP" located on the empennage's vertical stabilizer; this aircraft is itself not a jet plane.
