Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Indianapolis International Airport (Indianapolis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior for this trans-midwest journey as it frequently aligns with major urban landmarks like Kansas City and St. Louis, offering a chance to spot the Gateway Arch and the southern Front Range of the Rockies during departure.

Front Range
View Pikes Peak and the Colorado Springs area looking back toward the south during the initial climb.
Kansas City
Spot the downtown skyline and Power & Light District as you traverse the Kansas-Missouri border.

Gateway Arch
A clear view of the iconic 630-foot stainless steel monument as you pass the St. Louis metropolitan area.
Wabash River
The final major river crossing marking the natural border between Illinois and the state of Indiana.
The premier choice for afternoon flights to witness the sunset glow over the landscape. Keep a sharp eye out for the St. Louis Gateway Arch roughly 20 minutes before beginning the descent into Indianapolis. On clear days, the southern Rockies remain visible for the first 15 minutes of the flight.

Irrigation Circles
The geometric crop circles created by center-pivot irrigation systems across the Nebraska and Kansas plains.
South Platte River
Follow the winding water source that carves through the eastern Colorado plains shortly after takeoff.
Des Moines
The distant lights and urban grid of Iowa's capital city can often be seen to the north on clear days.
Mississippi River

Best for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. Look for the Mississippi River crossing approximately 75 minutes after departure. Use a window seat ahead of the wing for the clearest view of the irrigation patterns and riverbeds.
