Flying to vancouver in September. Could anyone who has travelled the route advice the best side of the aircraft to sit to get a good view of Vancouver when landing?
I do appreciate wind direction etc has an effect on landing direction.
Thanks..

I always try to sit on the inside where possible, make the flight more pleasant :)

I've only flown through it once, I was on the left side (as you look forward) and the view was stunning, that said, we did a 180 turn before landing so really the view was great on either side...of course it all depends on the day and what the runway config is.

When you're flying back (assuming you're on a return flight, and not a one-way) you might want to try to sit on the left hand side. If you're lucky you might get to see the northern lights on the flight back (September is a good time for it), and they will be on the left hand side of the aircraft.
