Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning mountain views, the Right Side provides an iconic approach into the Bay Area, featuring the Pacific coastline and the San Francisco skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Oregon Coast Range

Lush, dense evergreen forests and rugged ridges characterizing the trek through the Siskiyou Mountains.

🏔️

Trinity Alps

Rugged, glaciated granite peaks within the Klamath National Forest visible during mid-flight.

🌊

Point Reyes & Coast

The dramatic shoreline where the Pacific Ocean meets the California cliffs near Marin County.

🌉

SF Skyline & Bridges

A breathtaking panoramic view of the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate, and the Bay Bridge.

🚤

San Francisco Bay

Aerial views of Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the busy shipping lanes as you bank for the OAK runway.

The right side is premier for the Bay Area approach. On clear days, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge during the descent. For sunset flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the sun dipping into the Pacific.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Cascade Range Peaks

Distant but clear views of the Three Sisters and Mount McLoughlin as you depart southern Oregon.

🌋

Mount Shasta

The massive, snow-capped stratovolcano dominates the horizon as you cross into California.

🌾

Sacramento Valley

The vast, geometric patchwork of California's agricultural heartland stretching toward the horizon.

⛰️

Mount Diablo

The prominent 'Devil's Mountain' serves as a landmark for the beginning of the Bay Area descent.

🏘️

East Bay Hills

Dense urban clusters of Berkeley and Oakland nestled against the rolling green or golden ridges.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the snow on Mount Shasta. This side is also better for spotting the unique geography of the California Delta just before landing.
