LAS → TUL
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Tulsa International Airport (Tulsa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Grand Canyon's northern rim and the iconic sandstone buttes of Monument Valley as the flight tracks eastbound.
Valley of Fire
Vibrant red Aztec Sandstone formations located just northeast of Las Vegas.
Grand Canyon North Rim
The less-visited but equally stunning northern elevations of the canyon's deep ravines.
Monument Valley
The world-famous sandstone buttes of the Navajo Nation on the Arizona-Utah border.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southern-most subrange of the Rocky Mountains, often topped with snow.
High Plains Patchwork
The transition into the geometric agricultural landscapes of the Great Plains.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun illuminates the north-facing cliffs of the Grand Canyon without harsh glare. Look for the distinct red rocks of the Valley of Fire within the first 15 minutes after takeoff.
Hoover Dam
A clear view of the massive concrete structure and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.
South Rim Vistas
Expansive views of the widest parts of the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert.
Meteor Crater
A nearly mile-wide impact crater located in the high desert of northern Arizona.
Santa Fe National Forest
High-altitude pine forests and mountainous terrain in northern New Mexico.
Oklahoma Green Country
The visible shift to lush greenery and red soil as you descend into Tulsa.
Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Hoover Dam during the initial climb. For late afternoon flights, the right side offers spectacular desert sunset views over New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle.
