Which side of the plane to sit from Piedmont Triad International Airport (Greensboro) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Midwest's urban centers like St. Louis and Kansas City, followed by a dramatic approach to Denver featuring Longs Peak and the northern Front Range.
St. Louis Skyline
A potential bird's-eye view of the Gateway Arch and the urban core of the 'Gateway to the West'.
Midwestern Quilt
Intricate geometric patterns created by center-pivot irrigation and vast rectangular farmland.
Kansas City
The sprawling metropolitan area located at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers.
Longs Peak
The prominent northern peak of the Front Range that dominates the horizon as you enter Colorado.
DEN Architecture
The iconic white Teflon-coated fabric peaks of the Jeppesen Terminal during the final approach.
Sit on the right side for the best views of the Rocky Mountain wall as it rises abruptly from the plains. On morning flights, you'll have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the St. Louis Arch and the Colorado Front Range.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Rolling forested peaks and deep valleys of the southern Appalachian range shortly after takeoff.
Mississippi River
The massive, winding waterway that marks the transition into the American West.
Great Plains
Vast expanses of rural landscape showing the transition from lush green to arid golden tones.
Pikes Peak
One of Colorado's most famous 'fourteeners' visible to the southwest during the final descent.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunset colors over the plains. This side also avoids the direct morning sun glare. Keep an eye out for the Tennessee River's wide bends approximately 45 minutes into the flight.
