SEABUR

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled 'Volcano Row' experience, providing close-up views of the massive Cascade peaks including Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Shasta, followed by a dramatic approach over the San Gabriel Mountains into the LA Basin.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Mount Rainier

The massive 14,411-foot glaciated peak dominates the horizon shortly after takeoff from Seattle.

🏔️

Mount Saint Helens

View the distinct horseshoe-shaped crater left by the 1980 eruption as you fly south through Washington.

🗻

Mount Shasta

A stunning, isolated stratovolcano in Northern California that often stands above the cloud layer.

🌲

Sierra Nevada Range

The rugged Eastern Sierras provide a dramatic backdrop as the flight progresses through California.

⛰️

San Gabriel Mountains

A close-up view of these steep peaks during the final descent into the San Fernando Valley.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the eastern faces of the Cascades. On clear winter days, the snow coverage on the volcanoes is spectacular. During the descent into BUR, look for the Rose Bowl in Pasadena just before the final turn.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Puget Sound

Beautiful views of the islands and waterways surrounding Seattle immediately after departure.

🏙️

Portland & Willamette Valley

Catch glimpses of the Rose City and the lush green agricultural valley of Oregon.

🌾

California Central Valley

The vast, geometric patchwork of the world's most productive agricultural region.

🌉

SF Bay Area

On clear days, you can spot the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific coastline in the distance to the west.

🏠

San Fernando Valley

A bird's-eye view of the dense suburban grid of Los Angeles as you touch down in Burbank.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as you will witness the sun dipping into the Pacific Ocean horizon. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you may get better views of the Oregon coastline and the Klamath Mountains.
