LASXNA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more direct view of the spectacular Grand Canyon North Rim and the high peaks of the southern Rockies during the mid-flight transit.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Mead and Hoover Dam

Shortly after takeoff, view the massive blue reservoir and the engineering marvel of the Hoover Dam set against dark volcanic rock.

🏜️

Grand Canyon North Rim

Witness the dramatic depths and multi-colored geological layers of the canyon's more secluded northern edge.

🏔️

Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Soar past the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains, featuring jagged peaks that often remain snow-capped into summer.

🌾

The Great Plains

Watch the rugged mountain terrain flatten into the vast, golden expanses of the Oklahoma panhandle.

🌳

Ozark Plateau

As you descend into XNA, the landscape transforms into the lush, rolling green hills and dense forests of the Ozarks.

Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction. The Grand Canyon appears roughly 15-20 minutes after departure. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sun glare, while late afternoon flights provide beautiful side-lighting on the New Mexico mountain ranges.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏢

Las Vegas Strip

Depending on takeoff direction, get a bird's-eye view of the iconic casino skyline and the High Roller wheel.

🎨

Painted Desert

View the vibrant, striped badlands of Arizona, showcasing shades of lavender, red, and orange.

⛰️

New Mexico Mesas

Observe distinct flat-topped mesas and volcanic fields that define the high desert landscape of the southwest.

💧

Beaver Lake

On final approach to XNA, look for the winding blue waters of this major reservoir nestled in the Arkansas hills.

Choose this side for the best chance to see the Vegas Strip during departure. During the winter, look for the stark contrast of shadows on the New Mexico mesas. Be aware that this side will face the sun for the majority of an eastbound afternoon flight, which can be bright.
