LAS → HNL
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Daniel K Inouye International Airport (Honolulu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival into Honolulu, offering a front-row seat to the historic Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial, and the vibrant coastline of Oahu just before touchdown.
Search flights from LAS to HNL
Red Rock Canyon
Vibrant red sandstone peaks and Aztec Sandstone cliffs visible immediately after leaving LAS.
Mount San Gorgonio
The highest peak in Southern California, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the transition to tropical turquoise waters.
Pearl Harbor
Unmatched views of the USS Arizona Memorial and Ford Island during the descent into HNL.
Ewa Beach
Golden sands and turquoise reefs of Oahu's southwestern shore just seconds before landing.
The right side is essential for the 'classic' Hawaii arrival. On the standard approach to Runway 8L, you will fly directly past Pearl Harbor. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Oahu coastline and the historic naval base isn't obstructed by the engine.

Las Vegas Strip
Aerial view of the iconic casino skyline and the High Roller shortly after takeoff.
Mojave National Preserve
Sweeping views of the arid desert basins and Joshua tree forests of Southern California.
San Jacinto Mountains
Rugged peaks of the Peninsular Ranges as the flight heads toward the Pacific coast.
Molokai Cliffs
Distant but striking views of the world's tallest sea cliffs on the north shore of Molokai.
Choose the left side for morning departures to minimize glare from the southern sun. While the mid-flight is mostly ocean, the left side provides the best chance to spot the islands of Molokai and Lanai in the distance during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
