Search flights from ANC to OME
Denali
North America's highest peak dominates the horizon for the first half of the journey.
Alaska Range
A panoramic view of the massive wall of snow-capped peaks stretching across the interior.
Susitna Valley
A bird's-eye view of the vast boreal forests and complex wetland ecosystems north of Anchorage.
Yukon River
The flight crosses this legendary river, showing its immense scale and importance to the interior.
Kigluaik Mountains
Sharp, jagged granite peaks that define the rugged landscape of the Seward Peninsula near Nome.
The right side is the 'Denali side.' Morning flights are highly recommended as the mountain is often clearer before afternoon clouds develop. During winter, look for the dramatic contrast of shadows on the snow-covered tundra. Seat selection away from the wing is crucial for unobstructed photography of the Alaska Range.

The famous 'Sleeping Lady' mountain silhouette visible immediately after departure from Anchorage.
Cook Inlet
Expansive views of the tidal flats and the silty waters surrounding the Anchorage peninsula.
Tordrillo Mountains
A stunning range of glaciated volcanic peaks located to the west of the flight path.
Kuskokwim River
Intricate, meandering river patterns through the remote Alaskan wilderness and tundra.
Norton Sound
The vast expanse of the Bering Sea coastline as the plane descends toward the Seward Peninsula.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights when the light reflects off the Bering Sea. Keep an eye out for Beluga whales in the Cook Inlet during late summer months.
