Dramatic views of the crashing Pacific surf against the rocky cliffs of the Southern Oregon coast.
Redwood National Park
The deep green canopy of ancient giants stretching from the mountains down to the shoreline.
Point Reyes
The distinct triangular peninsula of Point Reyes National Seashore jutting into the ocean.
Golden Gate Bridge
The most iconic view of the trip, often visible during the descent and bank into the Bay Area.
San Francisco Skyline
A breathtaking perspective of the Transamerica Pyramid, Salesforce Tower, and the city's famous hills.
The right side is the definitive choice for scenery on this route. It is especially beautiful during sunset flights when the ocean glows gold. Ask for a seat toward the front or rear to avoid the wing obscuring your view of the coastline and the Golden Gate Bridge during the standard descent path.
