Lake Mead & Hoover Dam
Vibrant blue water against the stark desert landscape visible immediately after takeoff.
Grand Canyon
Breathtaking views of the North Rim and the Colorado River's deep carving through the plateau.
Painted Desert
Vibrant layers of siltstone and shale in shades of red, orange, and purple across northern Arizona.
Mississippi River
The winding, massive artery of the United States cutting through the lush landscapes of the South.
Great Smoky Mountains
Densely forested ridges and the blue-tinted haze of the Appalachian range as you enter North Carolina.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the desert floor. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun illuminates the canyon walls from the south. Keep your camera ready during the first 20-30 minutes of flight for the most dramatic terrain.

Rugged volcanic mountains and dry washes just south of the Las Vegas Valley.
Sandia Mountains
The dramatic 10,000-foot peaks overlooking Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Texas Panhandle
Endless geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation circles across the flat plains.
Tennessee River Valley

Uptown Charlotte

On afternoon flights, the right side will face south into direct sunlight, which can be harsh for photos and quite warm. Choose this side for beautiful sunset colors during evening transcontinental crossings. Watch for the 'Seven Magic Mountains' art installation shortly after leaving LAS.
