Finger Lakes
Shortly after departure, view the distinctive linear glacial lakes of Upstate New York.
Lake Erie Coastline
Watch the industrial and natural beauty of the Great Lakes shoreline near Cleveland and Detroit.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Stunning views of the highest peaks in the Northern Colorado Rockies, often visible for extended periods.
Utah Canyonlands
Fly over the surreal red landscapes of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks as you enter the Southwest.
Las Vegas Strip
On the standard approach to runways 26L or 26R, the right side provides a spectacular front-row seat to the entire Las Vegas Strip.
The right side offers more consistent geographic diversity. Watch for the transition from the green Midwest to the arid West about 3.5 hours into the flight. For the most iconic 'Vegas' view, sit on the right and hope for an approach from the east, which puts the Strip directly in your window.

Hudson Valley
Early in the flight, catch views of the winding Hudson River and the distant silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains.
Southern Rockies
As you cross into Colorado, look for the towering snow-capped peaks of the Front Range and Pikes Peak.
Grand Canyon
Depending on the specific flight path, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon often reveals its vast scale to the south.
Hoover Dam
During the descent into LAS, the left side typically offers a clear view of Lake Mead and the engineering marvel of the Hoover Dam.
The left side is the 'Grand Finale' side. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes before landing to capture Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. For the best lighting on the Grand Canyon, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the canyon walls from the west.
