Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Delhi to Vancouver. While the takeoff offers interesting Delhi geography on the right, the landing approach into Vancouver on the left provides more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—the North Shore Mountains and coastal inlet views are more striking than Delhi's plains.

Notable sights include: Yamuna River, Delhi urban grid, Aravalli Hills (distant southeast), Indo-Gangetic Plain.

When landing at Vancouver International (YVR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Vancouver. You'll see the North Shore Mountains, Burrard Inlet, and the city's waterfront geography as you approach from the southeast. Notable sights include: North Shore Mountains (Grouse, Seymour, Cypress peaks), Burrard Inlet, Strait of Georgia, Vancouver downtown waterfront.
