Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Savannah to Seattle. The right side captures Mount Rainier on approach to Seattle, which is one of the most visually striking landmarks on any domestic US route. While the left side has good Savannah departure views, the Rainier arrival tips the balance to the right for the overall flight experience.

During takeoff from Savannah Hilton Head International (SAV), sit on the Left side for the best views. SAV typically departs on Runway 10/28 or 19/1. Departing westbound or northbound, the left side gives you views over the Savannah River, the historic downtown grid, and the coastal marshlands of the Georgia Lowcountry. The right side faces open Atlantic or pine flatlands with little of interest. Notable sights include: Savannah River and port terminals, downtown Savannah historic district grid, Georgia coastal marshes and barrier islands, Tybee Island to the east visible briefly on right before banking.

When landing at Seattle Tacoma International (SEA), sit on the Right side for the best views. SEA-TAC primarily lands on runways oriented north-south (16L/R or 34L/R). On approach from the south or southeast, the right side faces east toward Mount Rainier, which dominates the horizon at 14,411 feet and is unmistakable on clear days. The left side faces Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula, which is also scenic, but Rainier is the single most dramatic landmark in the Pacific Northwest. Notable sights include: Mount Rainier to the southeast, Lake Washington to the east, downtown Seattle skyline to the north, Puget Sound to the west visible across the aircraft.

The flight from Savannah Hilton Head International (SAV) to Seattle Tacoma International (SEA) takes Approximately 5 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours.

The flight tracks northwest over the Appalachians of Tennessee and Kentucky, then across the Mississippi River valley, over the Great Plains of Kansas and Nebraska, across the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming or Montana depending on routing, over the Columbia Plateau of eastern Washington, and finally descending across the Cascades toward Puget Sound. The Rockies crossing — typically over Wyoming — offers dramatic mountain terrain visible from both sides, and the Columbia River may be visible as a wide silver ribbon in eastern Washington.
