Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of iconic American landmarks, including a clear perspective of the Hoover Dam upon departure and the vast expanse of the Grand Canyon and Painted Desert.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏗️

Hoover Dam

The massive concrete arch-gravity dam on the border of Nevada and Arizona is visible minutes after wheels up.

🏜️

Grand Canyon

Incredible views of the North Rim and the dramatic elevation drops of the Kaibab Plateau.

🎨

Painted Desert

Vibrant, stratified layers of siltstone and shale creating a rainbow effect across the Arizona badlands.

⛰️

San Juan Mountains

The rugged southern edge of the Colorado Rockies, featuring some of the most jagged peaks in the range.

🌾

Great Plains Patterns

Geometric crop circles and vast agricultural grids through Kansas and Missouri.

🌊

The Ohio River

The wide, meandering river that marks the final approach and descent into the Cincinnati area.

Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Grand Canyon, which usually appears 20-30 minutes after departure. On late afternoon flights, the 'golden hour' light provides stunning depth to the canyon formations, though the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Valley of Fire

Brilliant red Aztec sandstone outcrops located in the Mojave Desert shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Lake Powell

The deep blue waters of the Colorado River snaking through the high-walled red rock canyons of Utah.

🏔️

Central Rockies

Aerial views of the snow-capped Sawatch Range and the high-altitude peaks near Aspen, Colorado.

🌉

St. Louis Skyline

The Gateway Arch and the Mississippi River are often visible as the flight transitions into the Midwest.

🏙️

Indianapolis

The dense grid and radiating spokes of the Indiana state capital during the final hour of flight.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the 'confluence' where the Missouri and Mississippi rivers meet just north of St. Louis; it is a distinct geographical marker that signifies you have crossed into the eastern half of the country.
