Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (Fresno)?

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Sierra Nevada's most iconic peaks, including the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Whitney, and better views across the vast expanse of Death Valley.
Search flights from LAS to FAT
Mount Charleston
The highest peak in Clark County, often capped with snow even when the valley is hot.
Death Valley North
Expansive views of the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes and the colorful Funeral Mountains.
Mount Whitney
The crown jewel of the flight: the highest peak in the lower 48 states rising sharply from the Owens Valley.
Kings Canyon National Park
Deep glacial valleys and high-altitude lakes visible as you traverse the heart of the Sierra.
San Joaquin Valley
The transition from alpine peaks to the vast, productive agricultural grid of central California.
Request a seat forward of the wing to capture unobstructed photos of Mount Whitney. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the eastern face of the Sierra Nevada. Keep your eyes peeled as you cross the Owens Valley for the most dramatic elevation changes.

Las Vegas Strip
Immediate views of the world-famous skyline and desert sprawl upon departure from LAS.
Red Rock Canyon
Stunning red sandstone cliffs and unique geological layers of the Spring Mountains.
Badwater Basin
A look toward the lowest point in North America and the shimmering salt flats of Death Valley.
Southern Sierra
The rugged southern edge of the Sierra Nevada range as the plane begins its mountain crossing.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Las Vegas Strip during the initial climb. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to photograph the desert landscapes without glare.
