Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Spokane International Airport (Spokane)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Las Vegas Strip upon departure, followed by the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Idaho and the jagged Sawtooth Mountains.
Las Vegas Strip
Get a perfect aerial view of the world-famous hotel architecture and neon lights immediately after takeoff.
Lake Mead
The massive reservoir and the Hoover Dam area are often visible as the plane climbs and turns north.
Craters of the Moon
A surreal, dark volcanic landscape in central Idaho consisting of vast lava fields and cinder cones.
Sawtooth Range
Breath-taking views of Idaho's most famous jagged peaks and alpine lakes during the middle of the flight.
Snake River Plain
Watch the winding Snake River carve its path through the agricultural heart of southern Idaho.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to avoid the glare of the sun. The right side is critical for the Las Vegas Strip view, which is the highlight of the departure. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of flight.
Red Rock Canyon
Visible shortly after takeoff, featuring vibrant red sandstone peaks and the Keystone Thrust fault.
Wallowa Mountains
Known as the 'Little Switzerland of America,' these snow-capped peaks dominate the horizon in NE Oregon.
Hells Canyon
The deepest river gorge in North America, carved by the Snake River along the Oregon-Idaho border.
The Palouse
Spectacular rolling hills of wheat and canola that create a patchwork quilt effect during the descent.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges in the distance. This side is also excellent for spotting the rugged wilderness of the Eagle Cap area.
