Search flights from SEA to BIL
Mount Rainier
The massive, 14,411-foot glaciated volcano is the highlight of the flight, appearing very close to the plane.
Mount Adams
A second giant stratovolcano visible further south in the Cascade range.
Bitterroot Mountains
Rugged, dense forest and high peaks along the Idaho-Montana border.
The Palouse
The rolling hills of eastern Washington, which create a beautiful green and gold patchwork quilt effect.
Beartooth Plateau
Dramatic, high-altitude alpine tundra and jagged peaks visible south of Billings during the approach.
The right side is the clear winner for volcano enthusiasts. To get the best view of Mount Rainier, ensure you are seated behind or well in front of the wing. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so have your sunglasses ready. As you approach Billings, watch for the 'Rimrocks' sandstone cliffs that surround the city.

Seattle & Lake Washington
Aerial view of the metropolitan area and the long, deep glacial lake bordering the city.
North Cascades
A panorama of jagged, glaciated peaks including the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Lake Pend Oreille
Idaho's largest and deepest lake, easily recognizable by its unique ear-like shape.
Flathead Lake
One of the cleanest and largest freshwater lakes in the US, located in Northwest Montana.
Mission Mountains
A stunning range of sharp, vertical peaks that rise dramatically from the valley floor.
Sit on the left for views of the northern Montana wilderness and the spectacular Mission Mountains. On late evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun, making photography of the glacial lakes much easier. Look for the Grand Coulee area in central Washington for interesting geological patterns.
