LASBNA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft typically offers a superior view of the Hoover Dam immediately after takeoff and a more direct look at the expansive South Rim of the Grand Canyon, followed by the lush greenery of the Ozarks.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏗️

Hoover Dam

Look down quickly after takeoff to see the dam and the O'Callaghan-Tillman Memorial Bridge.

🏜️

Grand Canyon South Rim

The most iconic and widest sections of the canyon are usually best viewed from the southern-facing windows.

☄️

Meteor Crater

A perfectly preserved 50,000-year-old impact site visible in the Arizona desert near Winslow.

🏞️

Ozark National Forest

A dramatic transition from the flat plains to the rolling, densely forested hills of Arkansas.

🌉

Mississippi River

The massive, winding waterway that marks the transition into the Eastern United States.

🎸

Nashville Skyline

Depending on the wind, the approach often provides a clear view of the 'Batman Building' and the Cumberland River.

This is the 'scenic route' side. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the Grand Canyon colors vividly. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight for the Hoover Dam.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🛶

Lake Mead

View the massive reservoir and the jagged shoreline of the Muddy Mountains shortly after departure.

🏜️

Grand Canyon North Rim

Deep red rock canyons and the Kaibab Plateau visible as you head toward the Arizona-Utah border.

🏔️

Southern Rockies

The snow-capped Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico and Colorado visible on the horizon.

🌾

Kansas Farm Patterns

Distinctive center-pivot irrigation circles creating a geometric patchwork across the High Plains.

🏗️

St. Louis Distant View

Occasional distant views of the Gateway Arch area when the flight path stays northernly near Missouri.

Sit toward the back of the plane to keep the wing out of your photos of Lake Mead. On late afternoon flights, the left side will be shielded from the direct southern sun, reducing glare and heat on the window.
