For having discerned that flattery gets you everywhere with me, please accept the Diamond Hairbrush award for supreme gallantry. The honour, should you chose to accept, will guarantee you precedence over mere mortals in general and most other Muccis - some awarded in haste and regretted at leisure. Still there it is.

Well my favourite is any flight that allows me to gaze on the rugged, handsome, powerful physique and face of any of my Muccis (although my heart has been captivated by one of them (No it's Sheep)) as they sip their Champangne and burping manfully ask if we have any seconds of everything.
For puddlehopping, the return from BRR via the request route of Fingal's cave was great
I'd have to agree on flying to YVR for the views of the Greenland ice cap, and also over the bogs of eastern Canada.
HKG is always great when it skirts the Himalayan plateau, and you look out and see the mountains surprisingly close when flying at 39000 feet.

Approach into YVR, seeing the whales and their blow-hole sprays in Howe Sound is very cool indeed, and trying to pick out the city in amongst all the inlets and mountains.
Approach into LIS from the south, that left 180 over the Ponte 25 de Abril is one of the best.
I was lucky enough to do a jump-seat (pre-9/11) into Funchal - this was around 1988 so not sure if this was on the extended runway or not.
And approach into LHR onto the Westerlies, though as a sarf Londoner I don't dislike the view from the A-side!
