Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Atlanta to Vancouver. The left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise over the Rockies and Cascades, the left side also faces south, giving better angles on the Canadian Rockies and the volcanic Cascade peaks including Mount Rainier and Mount Baker as the aircraft descends toward Vancouver. The right side is largely over open Pacific-facing terrain with fewer dramatic features.

During takeoff from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Left side for the best views. ATL primarily departs westbound on runways 26L/26R or northbound on 28, then turns northwest toward the Pacific Northwest. The left side faces south and then southwest during the climb-out, giving views over downtown Atlanta's skyline and Stone Mountain to the east as the aircraft banks. As the route heads northwest, the left side tracks the Tennessee River valley and Appalachian ridgelines. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (visible to the east during initial climb), Chattahoochee River corridor, Appalachian ridgelines of north Georgia.

When landing at Vancouver International (YVR), sit on the Left side for the best views. YVR's primary arrival runways are 08L/08R (landing eastbound) or 26L/26R (landing westbound). On the common eastbound approach over the Strait of Georgia, the left side faces north and gives direct views of the North Shore Mountains including the Garibaldi massif, Howe Sound, and the city of Vancouver. On a westbound approach, the left side still tracks the Fraser River delta and the city core. Notable sights include: North Shore Mountains (Grouse, Seymour, Cypress), Howe Sound fjord, Fraser River delta, downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park peninsula.

The flight from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) to Vancouver International (YVR) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Tennessee River valley, the Mississippi River near Memphis, the Great Plains of Kansas and Nebraska, the Colorado Rockies including the Front Range, the Wyoming Basin, the Snake River Plain of Idaho, and the Cascade Range of Washington State including Mount Rainier and Mount Baker on descent into Vancouver
