LAS → OKC
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it typically offers panoramic views of the Grand Canyon's northern expanse and the rugged peaks of the Southern Rockies in New Mexico.
Grand Canyon National Park
Aerial views of the North Rim and the intricate carving of the Colorado River.
Painted Desert
A vast landscape of vibrant, multi-colored siltstone and shale in northern Arizona.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains featuring high alpine peaks.
Lake Meredith
A large reservoir in the Texas Panhandle that stands out against the arid plains.
Great Plains Transition
The visual shift from the high desert of the West to the fertile grasslands of Oklahoma.
Sit forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Grand Canyon about 15-20 minutes after takeoff. Because this is an eastbound flight, the left side (north-facing) avoids direct sunlight for most of the day, making it better for photography without glare.
Hoover Dam
A magnificent view of the concrete arch-gravity dam immediately after departure from LAS.
Barringer Meteor Crater
A massive, well-preserved impact crater visible in the desert near Winslow, Arizona.
Albuquerque Skyline
Views of the Rio Grande valley and the city nestled against the Sandia Mountains.
Texas Panhandle Wind Farms
Thousands of white turbines dotting the flat landscape around Amarillo.
Oklahoma Red Earth
The distinctive iron-rich red soil and canyons as you descend into Oklahoma City.
The right side is excellent for the immediate view of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead upon takeoff. Note that on morning flights, this side will be very sunny; on evening flights, it provides a spectacular view of the sunset as you approach Oklahoma.
