Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Piedmont Triad International Airport (Greensboro)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for major river crossings and the skylines of key Midwestern cities like Kansas City and St. Louis during the eastbound transit.
Kansas City Skyline
A clear view of the urban sprawl and downtown high-rises where the Kansas and Missouri rivers meet.
Mississippi River & St. Louis
Watch for the Gateway Arch and the massive industrial riverfront as you cross the divide into the eastern US.
Ohio River Valley
Scenic views of the winding Ohio River as it carves through the lush greenery of the border states.
Appalachian Plateau
The transition from flat plains to the deeply dissected plateau of West Virginia and eastern Kentucky.
Piedmont Forests
The dense, verdant forest canopy of North Carolina during the final approach into Greensboro.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing better visibility of the ground. Look out for the Mississippi River crossing approximately 80 to 90 minutes after takeoff. In autumn, this side offers a spectacular view of the changing foliage over the Appalachian Mountains.
Front Range Recede
Catch a final glimpse of Pikes Peak and the southern Rocky Mountains as the aircraft climbs and turns east.
Flint Hills
Observe the unique, rolling tallgrass prairie of eastern Kansas, which is especially vibrant in the spring.
Ozark Outskirts
Distant views of the rugged, forested hills of the Ozark Plateau in southern Missouri.
Tennessee Valley
Green pastures and river valleys that define the geography between the Mississippi and the Blue Ridge.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Stunning views of the hazy blue peaks during the descent, marking the transition into the North Carolina Piedmont.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the wings. As you descend into GSO, watch for the distinct parallel ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This side typically offers better views of the agricultural patterns of the Great Plains during the first hour of flight.
