EWR → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its immediate view of the Manhattan skyline upon departure from Newark and its superior positioning for the red rock formations of the Utah canyons and the Las Vegas Strip on arrival.

Manhattan Skyline
Breathtaking views of the New York City skyscrapers and the Hudson River shortly after takeoff.
Lake Erie
The southern shoreline of the Great Lakes visible as you pass over Ohio.
Canyonlands & Arches
Deep red sandstone formations and labyrinths of the Utah desert.
Zion National Park
The massive white and red Navajo Sandstone cliffs of southern Utah.
Las Vegas Strip
The iconic neon lights, the Sphere, and resort towers during the final approach pattern.
For the best chance of seeing NYC, monitor the wind; if planes are taking off to the north, the view is spectacular. On arrival in Las Vegas, the right side typically offers the most consistent views of the Strip and the city's unique architecture. Be prepared for harsh sun during the morning hours.

Appalachian Ridges
The corrugated green ridges of the Pennsylvania highlands early in the flight.
St. Louis Arch
A clear view of the Gateway to the West and the Mississippi River crossing.
Pikes Peak
The southernmost high summit of the Colorado Front Range rising above the plains.
Grand Canyon South Rim
The massive expanse of the world's most famous canyon system roughly 40 minutes before landing.
Lake Mead
The bright blue waters of the reservoir and a glimpse of the Hoover Dam on the final descent.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Grand Canyon isn't obstructed. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying westward. Watch for the transition from the green Midwest to the arid West about three hours into the journey.
