Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seattle to Juneau. While the right side wins at takeoff from Seattle, the left side dominates the majority of this northbound flight. Once airborne and tracking north-northwest up the Inside Passage, the left side faces west toward the open Pacific and the outer coast of Vancouver Island, but more importantly faces the dramatic fjords, glaciated peaks of the Coast Mountains, and the Alexander Archipelago as you approach Southeast Alaska. The left side also wins the landing into Juneau.

During takeoff from Seattle Tacoma International (SEA), sit on the Right side for the best views. SEA's primary departure runway 16R/34L means northbound departures typically head north then bank left over Puget Sound. The right side gives you Elliott Bay, downtown Seattle skyline, and the Olympic Mountains across the water. Mount Rainier may also appear to the southeast on the right side during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle waterfront, Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound, Mount Rainier to the southeast, Lake Washington.

When landing at Juneau International (JNU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Juneau International sits at the base of steep coastal mountains with the Gastineau Channel to the south. Aircraft typically approach from the northwest or southeast along the channel. The left side on approach gives you the Gastineau Channel, Douglas Island, and the dramatic Coast Mountains rising directly above the city. Notable sights include: Gastineau Channel, Douglas Island, Mendenhall Glacier to the northwest, Coast Mountains above Juneau.

The flight from Seattle Tacoma International (SEA) to Juneau International (JNU) takes Approximately 2 hours.

The flight tracks north-northwest up the British Columbia coast following the Inside Passage. Key features include the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland, the heavily glaciated Coast Mountains of BC visible to the east, the northern tip of Vancouver Island, the Dixon Entrance marking the US-Canada border, and the Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska — a maze of forested islands and deep fjords. On clear days, major icefields of the St. Elias and Coast ranges are visible on the eastern horizon.
