Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Regina to Edmonton. While right seats offer better takeoff views of the Qu'Appelle Valley transition, left seats provide superior landing views of the North Saskatchewan River valley and Edmonton's geography. Since landing views are typically more memorable and detailed, left wins overall.

During takeoff from Regina International (YQR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Regina typically departs to the north on runway 13/31. Right-side seats offer views of the Qu'Appelle Valley and the transition from prairie to boreal forest as you climb northwestward toward Edmonton. Left seats face back toward the city and southern prairie. Notable sights include: Qu'Appelle Valley (visible as a subtle depression in the prairie terrain), Regina city grid receding southward, transition zone where grassland begins giving way to scattered aspen and coniferous forest.

When landing at Edmonton International (YEG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Edmonton typically lands on runway 16L/34R or 16R/34L depending on wind. Left-side seats during approach from the south offer views of the North Saskatchewan River valley, the river's distinctive meanders, and downtown Edmonton's skyline as you descend. Right seats see the industrial areas and airport infrastructure. Notable sights include: North Saskatchewan River with its pronounced meanders and river valley, downtown Edmonton skyline and the river's sharp bend near the city center, Whyte Avenue district and University of Alberta campus on the river's south bank.

The flight path crosses the Saskatchewan-Alberta border around the midpoint, passing over the transition zone between prairie grassland and boreal forest. Notable features include scattered lakes and wetlands (particularly visible around the Beaver Lake area in Alberta), the gradual increase in forest density, and the North Saskatchewan River's upper reaches becoming visible as you approach Edmonton. The terrain remains predominantly flat throughout, with no significant mountain ranges visible from this route.
