LAS → LIT
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side (North-facing) provides the most dramatic scenery, including prime views of Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam, and potentially the northern sections of the Grand Canyon and the Ozark Plateau.
Lake Mead & Hoover Dam
Visible shortly after takeoff, the massive blue expanse of the reservoir contrasts sharply with the rugged desert terrain.
The Grand Canyon
Depending on the specific airway, the northern rim and the deep carvings of the Colorado River offer a breathtaking scale.
Painted Desert
Vibrant hues of red, orange, and purple are visible across the badlands of Northern Arizona.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southern tip of the Rocky Mountains provides snow-capped peaks as you cross into New Mexico.
Ozark National Forest
The landscape transforms from arid plains to lush, rolling green hills as you enter Arkansas airspace.
Sit on the left side to avoid the harsh southern sun when flying east. For the best views of the Grand Canyon, keep your window shade up for the first 45 minutes of the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the canyon walls from the east.
Las Vegas Strip
Depending on the departure runway, you can catch a stunning aerial view of the casinos and the Sphere.
Meteor Crater
A remarkably preserved impact site near Winslow, Arizona, appearing as a giant bowl in the desert floor.
Petrified Forest National Park
View the uniquely colored mounds and desert vistas of Southern Arizona's high plateau.
Albuquerque Skyline
The city sprawl is visible against the backdrop of the towering Sandia Mountains.
Arkansas River Valley
During the descent into LIT, the winding river serves as a scenic guide toward the airport.
The right side can be very sunny on this eastbound route; polarized sunglasses are recommended. If the flight departs to the west and loops back, the right side offers the best farewell view of the Las Vegas valley. Watch for the perfectly circular Meteor Crater about 40 minutes into the flight.
