LAS → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is highly recommended for its spectacular finish; as the plane descends into Newark, passengers are frequently treated to a stunning panorama of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River.
Lake Mead
Vivid blue waters of the reservoir set against the stark, desert terrain of the Mojave.
Utah Canyonlands
The intricate, red rock erosion patterns and plateaus of eastern Utah visible from 35,000 feet.
Colorado Rockies
Direct views of the northern section of the Rocky Mountains, often featuring snow-dusted peaks.
The Heartland
A sprawling view of the Mississippi River and the transition into the dense greenery of the East Coast.
Manhattan Skyline
The ultimate highlight during the descent into EWR, offering a clear view of the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center.
Book a seat on the left side, preferably ahead of the wing, to witness the iconic New York City skyline during the final minutes of the flight. For early morning departures, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Utah canyons and the Rockies.
The Las Vegas Strip
An immediate aerial view of the famous resorts and casinos shortly after departing McCarran.
Grand Canyon
Views of the South Rim and the winding Colorado River as the flight path moves east.
Great Plains Mosaic
The fascinating geometric circular irrigation patterns that dominate the landscape across Kansas.
Appalachian Mountains
The long, rolling ridges of the Appalachian chain covered in dense forest foliage.
Philadelphia Skyline
Visible in the distance as the aircraft begins its final descent over Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The right side offers the best view of the Las Vegas Strip depending on the departure runway. However, because the flight travels east, the sun will be on the right side for most of the day, which can create significant glare and heat. Keep the window shade partially closed during the mid-flight segment to stay comfortable.
