LAS → FLL
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Hoover Dam right after takeoff, followed by expansive desert vistas and a breathtaking approach over the Everglades and the Florida coastline.
Hoover Dam
A spectacular overhead view of the dam and the bypass bridge just minutes after takeoff.
Sonoran Desert
Vast desert expanses and unique geological formations across Arizona and New Mexico.
Gulf Coastline
Stunning transition from land to the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico near the Florida Panhandle.
The Everglades
The 'River of Grass' stretches out below in a mosaic of green and water during the descent.
Fort Lauderdale Coast
Aerial views of the high-rises and Atlantic beaches as the plane banks for its final approach.
Ideal for sunset flights as the sun will set on this side of the aircraft. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure for the Hoover Dam. On approach to FLL, this side typically offers a better view of the dense urban sprawl meeting the wilderness of the Everglades.
Grand Canyon North
Glimpses of the canyon's deep ravines and the Colorado River as it snakes north of the flight path.
Southern Rockies
Rugged mountainous terrain and high-altitude plateaus across the Four Corners region.
Mississippi River
The massive, winding waterway that serves as a geographic divider between the West and East.
New Orleans
Often visible in the distance as you traverse the Gulf Coast region towards Florida.
Sit on this side for the best chance to see the Grand Canyon's northern rim. Morning flights provide excellent backlighting for the red rocks, making the colors pop against the desert floor. Seat toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the winding Mississippi River.
