LAS → EUG
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Mahlon Sweet Field (Eugene)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning desert vistas, the right side provides a superior view of the volcanic Cascade Range, including the Three Sisters and Mount Jefferson, during the descent into Eugene.
Lake Mead
The massive reservoir formed by the Hoover Dam, visible shortly after departure.
Pyramid Lake
A striking turquoise endorheic lake located in the high desert of northwestern Nevada.
The Three Sisters
Three closely spaced volcanic peaks (North, Middle, and South Sister) that dominate the Oregon skyline.
Mount Jefferson
Oregon's second-highest peak, featuring a distinctively pointed, glacial summit.
Deschutes National Forest
Dense evergreen forests that signal your arrival into the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Cascades. Keep an eye out for Diamond Peak and Mount Bachelor as you begin your initial descent into the Eugene area.
Las Vegas Strip
Aerial view of the iconic casinos and resorts shortly after takeoff from LAS.
Mount Charleston
The highest peak in the Spring Mountains, often snow-capped during winter months.
Black Rock Desert
A massive alkaline salt flat in northwestern Nevada, famous for its stark, white appearance.
Steens Mountain
A massive fault-block mountain in Oregon featuring deep glacial U-shaped gorges.
Willamette Valley
The transition from high desert to the lush, green agricultural heart of Oregon.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Vegas skyline if the flight departs to the north. As you approach Eugene, this side offers a broader view of the Coast Range and the western edge of the Willamette Valley. Afternoon flights may experience more glare on this side.
