Which side of the plane to sit from Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat (Terrace) to Prince George Airport (Prince George)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers expansive views of the Nechako Plateau lakes and the rugged southern peaks of the Hazelton Mountains, providing a better look at the vast BC interior wilderness.
Telkwa Range
Glaciated peaks south of Smithers that retain snow year-round.
Nechako Reservoir
The vast, intricate water system of Ootsa Lake, part of a massive hydro project.
Tweedsmuir Park North
Remote wilderness views of BC's largest provincial park to the southwest.
Prince George Skyline
Excellent view of the city and the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers on descent.
The right side is superior for seeing the massive scale of the Nechako Reservoir and the rolling plateau. In winter, the frozen lake patterns are mesmerizing. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side as the sun moves south.
Seven Sisters Peaks
Sharp, snow-capped summits visible early in the flight near Cedarvale.
Skeena River Valley
The flight follows this major waterway through deep, dramatic mountain canyons.
Babine Mountains
Stunning sub-alpine ridges and meadows north of the flight path.
Stuart Lake
One of the largest natural lakes in British Columbia, located near Fort St. James.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look for the distinctive jagged silhouette of the Seven Sisters shortly after takeoff from Terrace. This side is best for seeing the higher, more rugged peaks of the Hazelton Range.
