Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (Amarillo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a front-row seat to the majestic Rocky Mountain Front Range and several notable volcanic landmarks as you transition from the mountains to the high plains.
Search flights from DEN to AMA
Front Range
Continuous views of the snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks stretching along the western horizon.
Pikes Peak
The most famous 14,000-foot peak in Colorado, clearly visible as you pass Colorado Springs.
Spanish Peaks
Two prominent, isolated volcanic peaks that serve as striking landmarks in southern Colorado.
Capulin Volcano
A perfectly preserved extinct cinder cone volcano located just across the New Mexico border near your flight path.
Book a window seat on the right side for morning departures to see the mountains beautifully illuminated by the rising sun. Avoid the right side during late afternoon flights, as the sun will be directly in your eyes. Keep your eyes peeled south of Pueblo for the unique 'dikes' or rock walls radiating from the Spanish Peaks.

DIA Terminal Roof
View the iconic white tepee-style peaks of the Jeppesen Terminal immediately following departure.
The High Plains
Vast stretches of agricultural land showcasing unique circular irrigation patterns and rural grids.
Wind Energy Farms
Massive clusters of wind turbines across eastern Colorado and the northern Texas Panhandle.
Canadian River Valley
The winding path of the Canadian River cutting through the dry landscape as you approach Amarillo.
Choose the left side for morning flights if you prefer to avoid direct sun glare. During the winter, the morning light on this side creates beautiful long shadows over the snowy plains. Look for the geometric precision of center-pivot irrigation circles in the panhandle region.
