Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Comox to Vancouver. Right-side seats capture the most distinctive geography on both departure and arrival: the immediate Denman-Hornby Island complex and Georgia Strait are more visually interesting than the interior forest of Vancouver Island visible from the left.

During takeoff from Comox (YQQ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Comox typically departs to the south or southeast. Right-side seats capture the immediate coastal geography: Denman Island and Hornby Island to the east, with the Georgia Strait opening up. Left side faces inland toward the Vancouver Island interior. Notable sights include: Denman Island (immediate foreground), Hornby Island (northeast), Georgia Strait (expanding water body), Coast Mountains (distant southern horizon).

When landing at Vancouver International (YVR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching Comox from the south (typical arrival routing), left-side seats offer views of the descent path over Georgia Strait, with Denman and Hornby Islands visible off the left wing. Right side faces the interior of Vancouver Island with less distinctive geography. Notable sights include: Georgia Strait (foreground water), Denman Island (left wing), Hornby Island (left distance), Vancouver Island coastline (right side, receding).

The flight from Comox (YQQ) to Vancouver International (YVR) takes Approximately 25-30 minutes.

Georgia Strait dominates the entire flight path. The route crosses open water between Comox and Vancouver, with Denman and Hornby Islands visible early in the flight. The mainland Coast Mountains gradually become more prominent on the horizon as you approach YVR. No major cities are visible at altitude on this short route, but the water body and island geography provide consistent visual reference.
