Even winds aloft can make a marked difference - not very long ago I flew LAX-NRT and we flew parallel to the coast as far as northern Oregon before swinging westward. Fantastic views of the northern California coast from the starboard / right side of the aircraft (of which I got some nice photos) at a comparatively low altitude.

Arriving, even from ICN or NR, you may wind up going as far east as Sacramento before you double back for the (eventually final) approach to SFO.

abmj-jr, nice photo - thanks for sharing!
