Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Casper-Natrona County International Airport (Casper)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, showcasing the dramatic red rock landscapes of Southern Utah and the iconic waters of Lake Mead and Flaming Gorge.
Lake Mead
The vast expanse of the reservoir and the surrounding desert visible shortly after takeoff.
Valley of Fire
Intense red rock formations that appear to glow when hit by the morning sun.
Zion National Park
Aerial perspectives of the deep canyons and massive sandstone cliffs of Southern Utah.
Flaming Gorge
The striking green waters of the Green River winding through deep red canyon walls.
Laramie Mountains
The rugged ridge lines that mark the final descent into the Casper area.
The right side is unbeatable for morning flights as the sun perfectly illuminates the red rocks of Zion and Valley of Fire. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff from LAS for the best views of Lake Mead and the Colorado River system.
Red Rock Canyon
Stunning views of the red Aztec Sandstone cliffs just west of the Las Vegas valley.
Mount Charleston
The highest point in Southern Nevada, often capped with snow well into the spring.
Great Salt Lake
The northern edge of the massive saline lake is often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Wind River Range
Distant views of some of Wyoming's most rugged and highest mountain peaks to the north.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the desert sunset without direct sun glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the white salt flats and the blue water of the Great Salt Lake during the middle third of the flight.
