Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seattle to Wichita. The takeoff view of Mount Rainier and the Cascade Range is more visually dramatic and distinctive than the landing approach over flat prairie and river valley. The volcanic peak and mountain spine provide the most memorable scenic highlight of this route.

During takeoff from Boeing Fld King Co International (BFI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers immediate views of the Cascade Range and Mount Rainier during climb-out. The aircraft departs eastbound from BFI, and the Cascades dominate the eastern horizon from Seattle. Notable sights include: Mount Rainier (14,411 ft, ~60 miles southeast), Cascade Range spine, Lake Washington (below during initial climb), Puget Sound to the west.

When landing at Mc Connell Afb (IAB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides views of the Arkansas River and Wichita's urban layout during descent into McConnell AFB. The aircraft approaches from the west, and the river valley and city are positioned to the right of the descent corridor. Notable sights include: Arkansas River (visible as a meandering ribbon through central Kansas), Wichita city center and urban sprawl, flat Kansas prairie extending to the horizon, McConnell AFB runways.

The flight from Boeing Fld King Co International (BFI) to Mc Connell Afb (IAB) takes 3h 15m.

Columbia River (visible around Spokane area if flight passes north of direct route), Blue Mountains of Oregon/Washington border, Snake River valley in Idaho, transition from Pacific Northwest forests to high desert plateau, then gradual descent into Great Plains with increasing agricultural development and decreasing elevation
