LAS → MCO
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Orlando International Airport (Orlando)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most majestic views of the Grand Canyon's northern rim and the vibrant geological layers of the Painted Desert shortly after departure.
Lake Mead
The massive blue expanse of the reservoir contrasted against the rugged desert terrain.
Grand Canyon
A distant but breathtaking view of the canyon's scale and deep-etched plateaus.
Painted Desert
Striking bands of colorful rock and badlands across the Arizona landscape.
Mississippi River
A wide perspective of the vast river system marking the transition to the eastern US.
Florida Lake Country
A scenic patchwork of thousands of small lakes as the plane descends into Orlando.
Choose a seat ahead of the wing to capture the best photos of the Southwest. On daytime flights, the sun remains to the south, giving the left side better lighting with minimal window glare for photography.
Hoover Dam
A stunning view of the dam and the bypass bridge immediately after takeoff from LAS.
Meteor Crater
A perfectly preserved impact site visible in the desert near Winslow, Arizona.
Gulf Coast
Potential views of the white sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle during the transition to the peninsula.
Disney World
Look for the iconic Epcot ball and theme park layouts during the western approach to MCO.
Icon Park
The giant observation wheel and the tourist corridor along International Drive.
The right side is superior for landmarks during takeoff and the final descent. If you are flying during sunset, the right side will offer spectacular sky colors, though you may need to close your window shade during the peak brightness.
