LASBOS

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers superior views of the diverse American landscape, from the red rock canyons of Utah and the highest peaks of the Colorado Rockies to the glacial Finger Lakes of New York.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏜️

Utah Canyons

Aerial views of the surreal red rock formations and plateaus near the Grand Staircase-Escalante.

🏔️

The High Rockies

Direct views of the snow-capped Continental Divide and Colorado's highest peaks like Mount Elbert.

🌊

Great Lakes

Sweeping views of the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie during the mid-flight transit.

🍷

Finger Lakes

The distinct, long glacial lakes of central New York are clearly visible on the northern descent path.

⚓

Boston Harbor

A beautiful perspective of the harbor islands and the coastline as the plane enters the Boston corridor.

Choose the left side for better lighting on eastbound daytime flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side of the plane, reducing glare for photography. In the winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Rockies are exceptionally vivid from this side. Keep your window shade open during the final 20 minutes to spot the intricate New England coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
🎲

Las Vegas Strip

Depending on the runway, a spectacular view of the mega-resorts and the Sphere shortly after takeoff.

⚡

Hoover Dam

The massive concrete structure and Lake Mead's 'bathtub ring' are often visible to the south.

🏙️

St. Louis Skyline

A chance to see the Gateway Arch if the flight path tracks over the Mississippi River junction.

🌄

Appalachian Ridges

The long, forested folds of the Pennsylvania mountains stretching toward the horizon.

🏢

Boston Skyline

One of the best views of the Financial District and Back Bay if approaching from the west.

The right side is ideal for the departure phase to catch the iconic Las Vegas Strip. If you are landing at BOS during the evening, the right side often gets a closer view of the city's illuminated skyline. Be aware that the afternoon sun may be intense on this side of the cabin for the majority of the flight.
