Passengers on the right side will enjoy sweeping views of the Vancouver skyline, Stanley Park, and the majestic North Shore Mountains during the initial climb.
The right side is significantly more scenic as it follows the Great Circle route, providing rare views of the Aleutian volcanic chain and the dramatic, snow-capped volcanoes of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The left side provides a more intimate view of the Coast Mountain peaks and is the primary vantage point for the beautiful descent along the length of Okanagan Lake.
The left side offers a premier vantage point for the rugged Canadian Coast Mountains, the vast Greenland ice cap, and is the optimal side for viewing the Aurora Borealis during the flight's high-latitude crossing.
The left side offers a dramatic and up-close look at the high-alpine glaciers of the Coast Mountains and the jagged volcanic peaks of Garibaldi Provincial Park, providing a more rugged and impressive visual experience.
The right side offers a superior view of the high-altitude peaks of the Southern Rockies, including the Banff area and the iconic Mount Baker shortly after departure from Vancouver.
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Canadian Rockies shortly after takeoff and provides the iconic perspective of the Manhattan skyline during the standard approach into Newark.
While both sides offer stunning mountain vistas, the right side provides the most iconic views of Mount Baker and the dramatic descent into the Columbia River valley.
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of the Alaska Range, the volcanic peaks of the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the final descent over the mountainous terrain of northern China.
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic departure over the Pacific Northwest and the iconic volcanic landscapes upon arrival at the Big Island.
The right side offers a spectacular 'volcano parade' through Washington and Oregon, followed by stunning views of the Great Salt Lake and the colorful high deserts of the Southwest.

The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular, close-up views of the rugged Coast Mountains and the glacial peaks of Garibaldi Provincial Park shortly after departure. As you head north, the perspective on the deep fjords and the transition into the high northern wilderness is generally more dramatic than the plateau views to the east.
