BA's Best Daylight Flight
 

So which flight has the best views from the cabin?

Mine goes to NRT - LHR sat in 2K. Views over northern Russia are just spectacular.

And what's the best daylight non-BA route?

Not a dayflight but I like the morning views over Mongolia on the approach to BJS.And another with great views was on the approach to YVR.

Coming in to land on Dominica is great during daylight hours, if it isn't raining.

Another vote for YVR - spectacular views of coastal Scotland and Greenland.

Whilst not good for views, any of the ex-US East Coast dayflights get my vote, just because they beat the pants off trying to sleep on a sub-6 hour night flight ^

Coming into CAI, past the step pyramid at Sakkara, swinging over the nile, observing the great teaming mass that is Cairo .... wonderful

My vote goes to YVR too, coming in over the Rockies, having flown down over the frozen wastes of the north. All viewed from 1K through the haze of a few too many Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque '96's (as it was at the time).

From what I've heard, the approach to BOB (non-BA, obviously) takes an awful lot of beating. Will report back in a month. :) ^

Ok, more "great airport to fly into", but I was just amazed flying into Bangkok and seeing people playing golf on the golf course inbetween the runways and taxi-ways :)

The old days of Don Muang. All changed now with the new airport (which I won't attempt to spell here, Suvharnabhumi or summat).

If we're going non-BA, then take-off from ZQN is unbeatable, especially if the pilot powers down after take off so "you can all get a better view" :D ^.

I love the day flight to SFO - looping around the city with the Golden Gate Bridge down below is beyond compare.

Barra and they are all daylight approaches, unless you get the Islander medivac flight, with the FT crew occupying the rest of the aircraft.

HKG, the old one, from the jumpseat.

JFK from the noisy bird.

London City from the Dash 7 jumpseat in the 7.5 degree days.

RAF Kinloss from the right hand seat of a Hunter?

SYD from 1A

However, the correct answer is:
Any flight on a cabin crew jumpseat sat next to Pucci.

HKG, the old one - awesome

JFK from the noisy bird - how could one forget

However, the correct answer is:
Any flight on a cabin crew jumpseat sat next to Pucci - you charmer / smoothy you! ;)

So while I was pontificating between SYD and SFO Spotwelder beat me to it - I was planning to grovel to PUCCI as well :p

This thread was going well till it was time for the sick bag.

Not that PUCCI isn't a fine sight of course.

Don Muang is alive and kicking and they are still playing golf between the runways.

Flights to LAX with views of Vegas and the Grand Canyon are pretty spectacular.

can't beat the old HKG airport though.

(oh, and a little closer to home, the approach to LHR over central London -if you're sitting right side is not too shabby.)
