LAS → CMH
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to John Glenn Columbus International Airport (Columbus)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior panorama of the vibrant red rock formations in Southern Utah, the highest peaks of the Colorado Rockies, and better views of major Midwestern city centers along the flight path.
Zion National Park
Spectacular aerial views of the deep red canyons and towering cliffs of Southern Utah about 20-30 minutes after takeoff.
Colorado Rockies
Direct views of the snow-capped Front Range and high-altitude peaks as the plane transits through Colorado.
Denver Skyline
Clear visibility of the Mile High City and the transition from mountain terrain to the Great Plains.
Missouri River
A prominent crossing of the massive river basin near the Kansas and Missouri border.
Indianapolis
Bird's-eye view of the city layout and the iconic Motor Speedway during the final leg of the flight.
For the most dramatic lighting, choose a late afternoon flight to catch the sun illuminating the red rocks of Utah. Ensure your seat is forward of the wing to get clear shots of the Utah canyonlands within the first 45 minutes of the flight.
Lake Mead
Immediate views of the massive reservoir and the contrasting desert landscape right after departing Las Vegas.
Hoover Dam
A glimpse of this engineering marvel on the Colorado River shortly after the initial climb.
Canyonlands
Distant but impressive views of the intricate river-carved plateaus of Southeastern Utah.
Ozark Plateau
Rolling green hills and dense forest cover visible while flying over southern Missouri.
Ohio River Valley
The winding path of the Ohio River becomes visible as the aircraft begins its descent into Columbus.
The Right Side is best for early morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff from LAS, as the most iconic landmarks on this side appear within the first 10 minutes.
