Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seattle to Seattle. On this extremely short hop, the left side offers the best chance of seeing the Duwamish Valley, Boeing Field's famous aviation infrastructure, and a glimpse of downtown Seattle. The flight is so brief that window seat selection matters less than on any other route — you will spend more time taxiing than flying.

During takeoff from Seattle Tacoma International (SEA), sit on the Neither — this is an extremely unusual route side for the best views. SEA to BFI is a 3-mile straight-line distance — Boeing Field is literally just north of Sea-Tac. This is not a commercial passenger route; it is an aircraft ferry or test flight. The aircraft would barely reach pattern altitude before beginning descent. There is no meaningful 'takeoff view' in the traditional sense as the flight lasts under 5 minutes. Notable sights include: Elliott Bay waterfront, Downtown Seattle skyline, Duwamish River industrial corridor, Rainier Valley.

When landing at Boeing Fld King Co International (BFI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing at BFI from the south on runway 13L/13R, the left side faces east toward Rainier Valley and has a clear view of Mount Rainier on clear days. The right side faces west toward the Duwamish industrial corridor. On a northerly landing (runway 31), left side faces west toward Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle. Notable sights include: Boeing Field ramp and hangars, Duwamish River, Downtown Seattle skyline to the north, Mount Rainier to the southeast on clear days.

The flight from Seattle Tacoma International (SEA) to Boeing Fld King Co International (BFI) takes 3-5 minutes in the air, though taxi and ground operations will dominate the total block time.

The entire flight crosses the Duwamish River industrial corridor. At midpoint the aircraft is over the Tukwila/South Park neighborhood at roughly 1,000-1,500 feet. The Duwamish Waterway, SR-99 corridor, and the southern edge of the Boeing Field complex are the only features of note along this 3-mile track.
