I might be biased but the flight paths for the final approach to land in SFO is my favorite. Often it crosses the bay, which is spanned by not one but several bridges, all visually interesting, then takes you right by the distinctive skyline of downtown San Francisco.
If you’re lucky it might take you over a bit of the Pacific before turning back around to skim over the Santa Cruz mountains, which shimmers with recent rains in the afternoon sun. Then you’re over suburbia, which is far more palatable when going at 300 kmph.
Once you get a glimpse of Apple Park and Shoreline you’re back over the bay along the inner coastline as you get closer and closer to the water. Almost dangerously close before a reclaimed runway appears beneath you at the last second. I’m not even mentioning the weather variety.
