Which side of the plane to sit from Seattle Tacoma International Airport (Seattle) to St Louis Lambert International Airport (St. Louis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the most dramatic volcanic peaks of the Pacific Northwest and the stunning sharp ridges of the Teton Range.
Search flights from SEA to STL
Mount Rainier
The massive, ice-clad stratovolcano that looms just south of the airport, often visible at eye-level.
Mount St. Helens
Excellent views of the horseshoe-shaped crater and the volcanic blast zone from the 1980 eruption.
Grand Tetons
The jagged granite spires of the Teton Range rising dramatically above the Jackson Hole valley.
Midwestern Patchwork
A stunning geometric quilt of green and gold farmland across the heart of the United States.
Gateway Arch
The iconic 630-foot stainless steel monument on the St. Louis riverfront often visible during descent.
The right side is the undisputed winner for volcano enthusiasts; Rainier and St. Helens appear shortly after takeoff. For the best lighting, morning flights illuminate the Cascades perfectly. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for a potential view of the Gateway Arch and the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.

Seattle Skyline
Bird's-eye view of the Space Needle and Elliott Bay if taking off to the north before turning east.
North Cascades
The rugged, glacier-carved peaks of the 'American Alps' stretching toward the Canadian border.
Lake Pend Oreille
The deep blue, crescent-shaped waters of Idaho's largest and deepest lake.
Nebraska Sandhills
Unique stabilized sand dunes covered in prairie grass that create a mesmerizing undulating texture.
Missouri River
The wide, meandering silver ribbon of the Missouri River visible as you cross the Great Plains.
Sit on the left if you want better views of the North Cascades and the sprawling suburbs of Bellevue and Redmond. This side stays cooler during afternoon flights as the sun remains to the south. Look for the massive agricultural 'crop circles' created by center-pivot irrigation across the Nebraska landscape.
