Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the rugged Coast Mountains, massive glaciers, and the intricate waterways of the Inside Passage.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

Mount Rainier

Immediately after takeoff, the massive volcanic peak dominates the skyline to the southeast.

🏔️

Coast Mountains

A continuous chain of jagged, snow-covered peaks stretching from British Columbia into Alaska.

❄️

Stikine Icecap

One of the largest icefields in the world, featuring immense glaciers flowing toward the sea.

🌲

Misty Fjords

Deep, narrow glacial valleys and sheer granite cliffs rising from the dark blue water.

🧊

Mendenhall Glacier

On final approach to JNU, this famous glacier is often visible as you fly over the Gastineau Channel.

Book a window seat on the right for the most dramatic mountain scenery. For the best lighting on the glaciers, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight for breathtaking fjord views.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Olympic Mountains

View the snow-capped peaks of Olympic National Park shortly after departure from Seattle.

🏝️

Vancouver Island

See the rugged western coastline and remote beaches of Canada's largest Pacific island.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the vast Pacific Ocean, particularly stunning during sunset flights.

🦅

Haida Gwaii

The remote and culturally rich Queen Charlotte Islands appear as a lush green chain in the distance.

💧

Alexander Archipelago

Spot the outer islands of Southeast Alaska as you begin the descent toward Juneau.

Sit on the left for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Pacific without the glare affecting your view of the coast. This side is also excellent for spotting whale spouts in the distance during clear summer days.
