BIL → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Billings Logan International Airport (Billings) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the volcanic landscapes of Yellowstone, the dramatic red cliffs of Southern Utah, and the iconic Las Vegas Strip during the final descent.
Yellowstone National Park
Distant but clear views of the world's first national park and its high-altitude volcanic plateau.
Zion National Park
Stunning views of the massive red and white sandstone cliffs of Zion Canyon from cruising altitude.
Valley of Fire
Vibrant red Aztec sandstone formations that appear to glow, located just north of Las Vegas.
Las Vegas Strip
The ultimate view of the world-famous hotel skylines and the Sphere during the descent into LAS.
The right side is essential for the best approach views of the Las Vegas Strip. For afternoon flights, this side avoids the harsh glare of the setting sun, providing better visibility of the Utah red rock country. Seats behind the wing are best to ensure an unobstructed view of the ground.
Bighorn Mountains
Vast mountain range with dramatic ridges visible shortly after takeoff from Billings.
Flaming Gorge
A massive reservoir on the Wyoming-Utah border known for its brilliant blue water and red rock canyons.
Canyonlands National Park
Aerial views of the rugged wilderness and deep canyons carved by the Colorado River.
Lake Mead
The sprawling turquoise waters of the Hoover Dam reservoir appearing just before landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting on the Bighorn range. It offers a great view of the high desert plateau transition into the Mojave landscape. Keep an eye out for the Colorado River as it winds toward the Grand Canyon.
