From: Graham Harrison on 31 Jul 2008 03:08 <snip> The view from the right hand side is certainly the best, that way you will see all of the Cascade volcanoes if that far west. <snip/> The one time I went that far west on the way to SFO the Volcanoes were on the left. It really is a bit of chance quite where you go on a given day as the winds aloft change. It's also worth knowing that although the Atlantic routes vary day by day on any given day specific routes are promulgated. One of the few benefits of flying United is Channel 9 on the IFE system which (if the pilot turns it on) allows you to listen to ATC. I remember listening as the controller over Hudsons Bay tried to keep us slow enough (in a 777) not to overtake an AF A340 ahead of us as we both followed the same North Atlantic track and then filtered into the Canadian airway system.

Just as well there are people who think differently though...

As in not being able to choose a window seat when checking in, not literally being *stuck* in an aisle seat. -- Cheerz - Brownz '89 K100RS '53 JCW MCS (Cage) http://www.brownz.org/ |
