LAS → BIL
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Billings Logan International Airport (Billings)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to iconic landmarks immediately after takeoff, including Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, followed by the geological wonders of the Utah red rock country and the massive Wind River Range in Wyoming.
Lake Mead
The largest reservoir in the US by capacity, showing striking blue water against dark desert rock.
Hoover Dam
The historic concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River.
Southern Utah Parks
Aerial glimpses of the vibrant orange and pink hues of Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.
Wind River Range
A massive mountain chain in Wyoming containing Gannett Peak, the highest point in the state.
Bighorn Mountains
A sister range to the Rockies providing dramatic vertical relief as the flight nears Montana.
The best views occur within the first 10 minutes (Lake Mead) and the last 30 minutes (Bighorn Mountains) of the flight. For morning flights, be aware of sun glare; however, this side is superior for seeing the most famous geographic landmarks along the NNE flight corridor.
Las Vegas Strip
A sprawling view of the world-famous resort corridor and the MSG Sphere shortly after departure.
Red Rock Canyon
Stunning Aztec Sandstone peaks and desert valleys located just west of the city.
Great Basin Desert
The high-altitude desert landscape characterized by parallel mountain ranges and wide valleys.
Wasatch Range
The rugged mountain spine of Utah featuring peaks that remain snow-capped well into the summer.
Yellowstone Plateau
Distant views of the geothermal region and dense forests of the world's first national park.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light hitting the Teton and Yellowstone ranges. This side avoids the direct glare of the sun during morning departures, making it ideal for photography of the Great Basin's unique basin-and-range topography.
