Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular gallery of the American West, featuring the rugged Wasatch Range, the vibrant blue of Lake Mead, and an iconic approach into the Las Vegas valley.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Wasatch Mountains

Stunning views of the high-altitude peaks and ski resorts flanking the Salt Lake Valley.

🏙️

Salt Lake City Skyline

A clear view of the urban grid nestled directly against the base of the mountains.

🧱

Southern Utah Red Rocks

Vistas of the crimson-hued plateaus near Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks in the distance.

🌊

Lake Mead

The massive reservoir on the Colorado River, showcasing brilliant blue water against desert earth.

🎰

Las Vegas Strip

Frequent views of the world-famous hotel skyline during the final approach into Harry Reid International.

Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) for the best views of the mountain ranges. For optimal lighting on the Wasatch Range and Lake Mead, choose a mid-to-late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates these features from the west. In winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Uinta and Wasatch mountains are particularly breathtaking.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Snake River Plain

Dramatic volcanic landscapes and large-scale agricultural patterns across southern Idaho.

🧂

Great Salt Lake

The largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, showing distinct color variations and Antelope Island.

⬜

Bonneville Salt Flats

The stark, blindingly white expanse of the crusty salt pans stretching toward the horizon.

🌵

Great Basin Desert

A rhythmic sequence of north-south trending mountain ranges and arid desert valleys.

⛰️

Spring Mountains

The towering presence of Mount Charleston, which often holds snow long into the desert spring.

The right side (Seat F) is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern glare. This side provides a superior perspective of the Great Salt Lake's unique geography. Watch for the 'sun glint' off the salt flats and the varied textures of the Nevada wilderness. If arriving at sunset, this side offers a spectacular view of the desert horizon turning orange and pink.
