Which side of the plane to sit from Prince George Airport (Prince George) to Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat (Terrace)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive Babine Lake and the most iconic mountain features, including the jagged Seven Sisters Peaks and Hudson Bay Mountain near Smithers.
Babine Lake
Stunning vistas of British Columbia's longest natural lake, stretching far into the northern wilderness.
Hudson Bay Mountain
A bird's-eye view of the Kathlyn Glacier and the distinctive ski runs overlooking the Bulkley Valley.
Seven Sisters Peaks
A series of seven dramatic, tooth-like volcanic spires that dominate the landscape near the descent into Terrace.
Northern Coast Mountains
A vast expanse of untouched temperate rainforest and sharp peaks as the aircraft approaches the Pacific coast.
The right side is essential for seeing the Seven Sisters Peaks, which are the highlight of the approach. Book a window seat on the right for a clear view of the glaciers near Smithers. Winter flights offer spectacular high-contrast views of snow-filled mountain bowls.
Nechako River Valley
Aerial views of the winding Nechako River and the sprawling agricultural plains of the BC Interior Plateau.
Telkwa Range
Rugged, snow-capped alpine ridges located south of Smithers, featuring high-altitude basins and jagged crests.
Lower Skeena Valley
Dramatic views of the deep, glacier-carved valley walls and the turquoise waters of the Skeena River confluence.
Choose this side for views of the sprawling Nechako Reservoir systems further south and the southern peaks of the Hazelton Mountains. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Telkwa Range.
