Search flights from EUG to LAX
Cascade Range
Stunning views of the Three Sisters and Mount Bachelor shortly after departing Eugene.
Mount Shasta
The flight passes close to this massive, snow-capped stratovolcano in Northern California.
Lake Shasta
Aerial view of the sprawling blue waters and intricate shoreline of this major reservoir.
Mojave Desert
Observe the stark geographic transition into the arid landscapes of Southern California.
LA Basin
A sprawling view of the urban landscape framed by the San Gabriel Mountains during descent.
For the best photography of Mount Shasta, choose a morning flight to have the sun illuminating the peak from the east. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Cascades, which appear relatively early in the flight. On clear winter days, the snow coverage on the peaks is particularly dramatic.

Oregon Coast Range
Dense green forests and rugged ridges characteristic of the Pacific Northwest.
Central Valley
The vast, geometric patchwork of California's primary agricultural hub.
Pacific Coastline
Distant views of the rugged shoreline and the San Francisco Bay Area in the distance.
Channel Islands
Spot Santa Cruz and Anacapa islands as the plane maneuvers for its approach into LAX.
Santa Monica Bay
Vibrant views of the coastline and beaches if the flight performs a sea-side approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. If the aircraft performs a standard 'Over the Ocean' arrival into LAX, the right side offers excellent views of the Southern California beaches and the Santa Monica Pier just moments before touchdown.
