Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Kahului to Spokane. The takeoff from Maui offers more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—the volcanic peaks and inter-island channels are striking and unique. The landing approach into Spokane is pleasant but more subdued high-desert terrain. Right-side seats capture the superior scenic value of the departure.

During takeoff from Kahului (OGG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the West Maui volcanic landscape and the channel waters between Maui and Molokai during the initial climb-out northwestward from Kahului. Notable sights include: West Maui mountains (Pu'u Kukui massif), Pailolo Channel, Molokai's north shore cliffs, Pacific Ocean horizon.

When landing at Spokane International (GEG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Spokane valley approach, the Spokane River, and the city itself during descent from the northeast. The terrain transitions from high desert to river valley, offering clear visual landmarks. Notable sights include: Spokane River valley, Spokane city grid, Rathdrum Prairie to the north, Blue Mountains to the south.

The flight from Kahului (OGG) to Spokane International (GEG) takes 5h 15m.

The flight path crosses the Pacific Ocean northeastward, passing over open water for approximately 2,000 miles. Notable geographic transitions include: the Hawaiian Islands receding to the southwest; the California coast (typically visible around 3–4 hours into flight, including the Sierra Nevada range inland); the transition from Pacific coastal ranges to the interior Great Basin; and the Columbia Plateau approaching Spokane. The Cascade Range may be visible to the west during the final approach phase if atmospheric conditions permit.
