DEN → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Gulf of Mexico's emerald coastline as you transition into Florida, followed by a spectacular descent over the vast, untouched wilderness of the Everglades.

Rocky Mountain Backdrop
Distant views of the snow-capped Front Range as the aircraft gains altitude over the eastern plains.
Red River Valley
The striking red-colored soil and winding turns of the river along the Oklahoma-Texas border.
The Emerald Coast
Breathtaking views of the bright white sands and neon-green waters of the Florida Panhandle near Destin.
The Everglades
The 'Sea of Grass' stretching to the horizon, dotted with mangrove islands and swampy channels.
Miami Suburbs
The intricate canal-based housing developments that define the western edge of the Miami metro area.
The right side is the 'sunny side' for most of this south-bound trip, so bring sunglasses. The highlight is the transition from the Gulf of Mexico into the Florida peninsula, where the water color changes dramatically. Watch for the vast Big Cypress National Preserve just before the pilot lowers the landing gear.

Denver Skyline
Aerial view of the Mile High City and the distinctive white peaked tents of the DEN terminal upon takeoff.
High Plains Grids
Perfectly geometric circular and square irrigation patterns across the Kansas and Oklahoma farmlands.
Mississippi River
A massive, winding silver ribbon marking the transition from the Great Plains to the Deep South.
Lake Okeechobee
View of Florida's largest freshwater lake, often appearing as a massive inland sea.
Atlantic Coastline
On the final approach, enjoy the turquoise waters and dense high-rise developments of the Florida coast.
Sit on the left for a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is better if the flight path tracks slightly further north, potentially offering glimpses of the Ozark Plateau. During landing, if the plane approaches from the east, you will have a front-row seat to the Atlantic's reefs and white-sand beaches.
