I've had some business in Los Angeles over the years - not much, but I got there off and on. Depending on the airport you're flying into, depending on the landing approach your plane takes, and depending on what side of the plane you're seated on, the sign can come into view and it is quite large in the distance. I don't think I ever got over the thrill of seeing it - it is just so iconic - I really don't have the words to describe it.
- Fatnino 4y agoIt's more or less directly north of where the LAX traffic pattern makes the U-turn to line up final approach. So the right side of the plane can always catch a glimpse of the sign, but the left side coming from anywhere north-ish will have a closer view. If you're coming from south or east you won't make that turn and left side won't see it at all.
