LAS → PVD
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Theodore Francis Green State Airport (Providence)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic American landscapes, including an unparalleled view of the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam shortly after takeoff, followed by a scenic coastal approach into Rhode Island.
Hoover Dam & Lake Mead
An immediate view of the massive engineering marvel and the turquoise waters of the reservoir.
Grand Canyon
Breathtaking views of the South Rim and the winding Colorado River deep within the canyon walls.
Southern Rockies
Rugged peaks including the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Pikes Peak to the north.
Great Plains Patchwork
The geometric beauty of circular irrigation fields across Kansas and Missouri.
NYC Skyline
On clear days, the Manhattan skyline is often visible in the distance to the south.
Narragansett Bay
The beautiful islands and bridges of Rhode Island as the plane turns for its final approach into PVD.
This is the primary side for landscape photography. For the best views of the Grand Canyon, ensure you are in a window seat not obstructed by the wing. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a polarizing filter for your camera.
Valley of Fire
Stunning red sandstone formations located in the Mojave Desert shortly after departure.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Snow-capped peaks and high-altitude tundra of the Colorado Front Range.
Chicago & Lake Michigan
Distances views of the Chicago skyline and the deep blue expanse of the Great Lakes.
Lake Erie Coastline
Aerial perspectives of the industrial and natural shorelines near Cleveland and Buffalo.
The Berkshires
The rolling green mountains of Western Massachusetts during the descent phase.
Sit on the left if you prefer soft, indirect lighting and want to avoid the sun's glare on eastbound daytime flights. This side is superior for seeing the lights of major Midwestern cities like Chicago and Detroit during night flights.
