Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most iconic views of the Grand Canyon's northern expanse and the dramatic ascent over the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌆

Las Vegas Strip

Iconic view of the mega-resorts and the Sphere shortly after departure.

💧

Lake Mead

The massive turquoise reservoir and the engineering marvel of the Hoover Dam.

🏜️

Grand Canyon North Rim

Deeply carved red rock canyons and the high-altitude Kaibab Plateau.

🏔️

Rocky Mountains

Aerial views of the continental divide and rugged 14,000-foot peaks in Colorado.

🌽

Great Plains

The geometric 'quilt' pattern of center-pivot irrigation fields across Kansas.

Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see the Las Vegas Strip immediately after takeoff. About 20 to 30 minutes into the flight, watch for the dramatic rock formations of the Grand Canyon. This side is also preferable for evening flights as it avoids direct southward sun glare.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
☄️

Meteor Crater

A stark, nearly circular impact crater clearly visible in the flat Arizona desert.

🏜️

Painted Desert

Vast stretches of colorful, eroded badlands near the Four Corners region.

🌲

Ozark Mountains

Dense forest canopy and winding river valleys across southern Missouri.

🌊

Mississippi River

The massive, winding artery of the American heartland seen near the Missouri-Illinois border.

🏎️

Indianapolis Suburbs

Sprawling residential layouts and racing culture landmarks during the final descent.

The right side offers a unique look at the Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona. Keep an eye out for the Mississippi River and the Gateway Arch on the horizon if the flight path tracks slightly south. This side can be very bright during morning flights, so sunglasses are recommended for the first two hours.
