Notable sights include: Fraser River delta, North Shore mountains (Grouse, Seymour, Cypress), downtown Vancouver skyline, Burrard Inlet.

When landing at Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Left side for the best views. DFW arrivals typically come in from the north on runways 17L/17R or 18L/18R, meaning the left side faces east toward downtown Dallas. You get a clear view of the Dallas skyline, White Rock Lake, and the sprawling DFW metroplex grid as you descend. Notable sights include: Downtown Dallas skyline, White Rock Lake, Lake Ray Hubbard, DFW suburban grid.

The flight from Vancouver International (YVR) to Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) takes Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours.

The route crosses the Cascade Range over Washington state, where Mount Rainier (14,411 ft) and Mount Adams are visible on clear days. Over Oregon, the Columbia River Plateau's high desert terrain is distinctive. The route then crosses the Snake River Plain in southern Idaho or northern Nevada depending on routing, followed by the Basin and Range topography of Nevada and Utah. Over New Mexico and Texas the terrain flattens dramatically into the Llano Estacado and southern Great Plains before descending into the DFW basin.
