Which side of the plane to sit from Cozumel International Airport (Cozumel) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it captures the stunning Yucatan coastline upon departure and provides a front-row seat to the Colorado Front Range and Rocky Mountains during the descent into Denver.
Cozumel Shoreline
Crystal clear views of the island's western beaches and the town of San Miguel immediately after takeoff.
Riviera Maya
A panoramic view across the Cozumel Channel toward Playa del Carmen and the lush Yucatan jungle.
Texas Urban Centers
Depending on the specific airway, views of the Austin or Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan areas.
Rocky Mountain Front Range
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped peaks as the flight enters Colorado airspace and prepares for landing.
Choose a window seat on the left for the most dramatic transition from tropical islands to alpine peaks. On descent into Denver, the Rockies will be clearly visible to the west. For mid-day flights, the sun is positioned to highlight the mountain contours perfectly.
Mesoamerican Reef
The edge of the world's second-largest barrier reef system visible in the shallow turquoise waters.
Gulf Oil Rigs
Tiny industrial islands and ships dotting the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico mid-flight.
Great Plains Grids
The mesmerizing geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation fields across Oklahoma and Kansas.
Jeppesen Terminal
The iconic white fabric roof of the Denver airport, designed to mimic the snowy peaks of the Rockies.
The right side offers great views of the vastness of the Gulf and the agricultural patterns of the Great Plains. If landing from the north, you might catch a glimpse of the Denver skyline. This side is better for avoiding direct sunlight on late afternoon northbound flights.
