Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (Saskatoon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers unparalleled views of the jagged Wasatch Mountains and the rugged Wind River Range, along with the striking red rock transitions of the Mojave Desert.
Valley of Fire
Stunning bright red sandstone formations located just northeast of the Las Vegas valley.
Wasatch Range
A close-up view of the towering, snow-capped peaks that line the Salt Lake City corridor.
Wind River Range
Some of Wyoming's highest and most remote granite peaks and glacial valleys.
Fort Peck Lake
The massive, meandering reservoir on the Missouri River featuring unique 'breaks' topography.
South Saskatchewan River
The winding river valley that carves through the heart of Saskatoon as you approach for landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun and enjoy the best lighting on the mountain faces. Watch closely after takeoff for the red rocks of Nevada. During the final descent, this side typically offers a better view of the Saskatoon city skyline and the Meewasin Valley.
Great Salt Lake
The massive, shimmering expanse of the inland sea with its distinct salt flats and Antelope Island.
Yellowstone Plateau
Distant views of the high-altitude volcanic landscape and thick forests of the iconic national park.
Rocky Mountain Front
The dramatic transition where the high peaks of the Rockies meet the flat plains of Montana.
Flathead National Forest
Dense evergreen forests and alpine ridges stretching toward the Canadian border.
Alberta Foothills
The rolling green and gold transitions of the Western Canadian plains.
Sit on the left for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the mountains, though glare can be intense. This side is superior for spotting the unique color variations of the Great Salt Lake's north and south arms. In winter, look for the stark white outlines of the Montana mountain ranges.
