Valley of Fire
Bright red Aztec sandstone outcrops located just northeast of Las Vegas shortly after departure.
Colorado Rockies
Panoramic views of the snow-capped central peaks and high-altitude alpine lakes.
Denver Skyline
Distance views of the Mile High City with the expansive Great Plains stretching out beyond.
St. Louis Waterfront
Aerial view of the Mississippi River and the Gateway Arch as you cross into the Midwest.
Louisville Downtown
Prime views of the Ohio River and the city's central business district during the descent into SDF.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best shadows over the mountain ranges. This side is especially rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight for spotting the Ohio River bridges and the downtown area if the aircraft is landing towards the south.

Lake Mead
Detailed views of the massive reservoir and the jagged shoreline of the Black Canyon area.
Painted Desert
Vibrant hues of the Arizona badlands and plateau country visible in the distance to the south.
Ozark Mountains
Dense forest canopies and winding river valleys across Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas.

Kentucky Bluegrass
The characteristic rolling hills and horse farms of the Bluegrass region during the final approach.
The right (Starboard) side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the desert and plains. It also provides the best early-flight view of Lake Mead and potentially the Hoover Dam depending on the specific departure corridor used by air traffic control out of LAS.
