LAS → IND
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Indianapolis International Airport (Indianapolis)?
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.
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.
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.
