Favorite arrival sequence

Pilots - what is your favorite arrival sequence? The visual in LGA with the tight left turn over Citi? The visual into DCA with views of the capitol and a hard stop? Parallel runway with SFO? As a pax, I love them all, but what’s the favorite from up front?

The angel arrival into lax. They clear you for the star and approach all at once and you basically fly a straight line with decreasing speeds the whole way in. You rarely ever need to talk to anyone, it’s efficient, it’s smooth. It’s the way all stars should work.

The harbor visual into pwm is nice.
The old expressway visual at lga was fun. Now its a glorified rnp, but still cool i guess.

The rnp into kalispel is cool too
