Denver Skyline
A final glance at the Mile High City and the sprawling front range urban corridor immediately after takeoff.
Nebraska Sandhills
Unique rolling grass-stabilized sand dunes and agricultural pivot circles creating geometric patterns.
Chicago Skyline
On clear days with a northerly routing, the Willis Tower and lakefront skyscrapers are visible to the north.
Lake Michigan
The deep blue waters of the southern tip of Lake Michigan, contrasting with the industrial shoreline of Indiana.
Cuyahoga Valley
The lush, forested landscapes of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park just before the descent into Akron.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better visibility and less glare for photography. Watch for the stark transition from the brown plains of Colorado to the deep greens of the Midwest.

DEN Terminal
The iconic white peaked tents of the Jeppesen Terminal are clearly visible upon departure from most runways.
Missouri River
The winding path of the Missouri River as it separates the Great Plains from the central Midwest.
Indianapolis
The distinct grid of the 'Circle City' and the massive footprint of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Pro Football Hall of Fame
The unique architecture of the Hall of Fame in Canton is often visible during the final approach into CAK.
Akron City Center
Views of the 'Rubber Capital of the World' including the historic Goodyear headquarters during descent.
The right side is ideal for catching the Football Hall of Fame on arrival. However, on morning flights, you will face direct southern sunlight, which can make it quite warm and difficult to see out the window. Afternoon flights provide better lighting for this side.
