So 2 questions for you AV pros!

I was on a flight to Vancouver, fairly empty, air bus 320-2 and they told us to not shift seats as the the balance of the aircraft is very important to the pilot. While I could see this being true, my bull alarm was going off. It isn't a tiny aircraft, and we could book ANY seat we wanted, what is up?

And...

On my flight home, they started their decent over Kelowna. We then flew what looked like a football throw away from the tops of the mountains, which was amazing. I haven't had this happen to me before, any idea why they would fly so low for so long?
We came out of the mountains at ForgetmeNot mountain, swerved north to the Weaselhead and then decided to loop south around DeWinton

Thanks for any thoughts!
