Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Edmonton to Victoria. While takeoff favors the right side, the landing view from the left—the Strait of Juan de Fuca, San Juan Islands, and Olympic Mountains—is more dramatic and memorable. The left side captures the geographic highlight of this route.

During takeoff from Edmonton International (YEG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Edmonton International typically departs westbound (Runways 26L/26R). Right-side seats face north initially, offering views of the North Saskatchewan River valley and the city's northern sprawl before the aircraft turns southwest toward the Rockies. Notable sights include: North Saskatchewan River (visible as a dark ribbon cutting through the city), Edmonton city grid and downtown core, Beaver Lake to the northeast, transition to agricultural prairie west of the city.

When landing at Victoria International (YYJ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Victoria International uses Runway 09 for most arrivals (westerly approaches). Left-side seats face south during descent, providing clear views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the San Juan Islands, and the Olympic Mountains in Washington State across the water. Notable sights include: Strait of Juan de Fuca (wide body of water separating Canada from Washington), San Juan Islands (scattered islands visible as dark shapes in the strait), Olympic Mountains (snow-capped peaks on the southern horizon in Washington State), Vancouver Island's southeastern coastline.

The flight from Edmonton International (YEG) to Victoria International (YYJ) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the interior of British Columbia, passing over the Canadian Rockies (visible from either side depending on exact routing—typically the Cascade Range and peaks near the BC-Alberta border), then over the Kootenay region and interior plateau. The Columbia River valley may be visible if the aircraft routes south of the direct line. As the flight approaches the coast, the Cascade Range becomes prominent, followed by the descent into the Strait of Juan de Fuca approach corridor.
