Benefits of Sightseeing by Plane

• Sightseeing in Seattle is enjoyable by traditional means, but it is even more special when experienced from the air. Must-see locations become more vivid. Architecture and people are viewed from a different perspective. Furthermore, travelers are able to cover spread-out locations very quickly. Bird's-eye views also provide the opportunity to videotape and take pictures of the city from unusual angles.
