Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Vancouver to Comox. Left seats capture the dramatic North Shore Mountains on departure and maintain views of the Strait of Georgia crossing throughout the short flight. While the landing favors the right, the takeoff scenery is more visually distinctive and the water crossing dominates this 30-minute route.

During takeoff from Vancouver International (YVR), sit on the Left side for the best views. YVR typically departs northbound (runways 08L/R or 26L/R depending on wind).
