Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the winner for this transcontinental route, offering a sequence of legendary landmarks including Hoover Dam at the start and the potential for a spectacular view of Niagara Falls upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
💧

Hoover Dam & Lake Mead

An incredible aerial perspective of the massive concrete structure and the bright blue reservoir against red desert rock.

🏜️

Colorado Plateau

Vibrant red rock formations and deep canyons of eastern Utah and western Colorado.

🏔️

Southern Rockies

High-altitude peaks of the Colorado Front Range often covered in snow well into the summer months.

🏙️

Chicago & Lake Michigan

Clear weather may reveal the Chicago skyline in the distance as the plane skirts the southern tip of the lake.

🌊

Niagara Falls

A frequent highlight on the final descent into YYZ; the falls are often clearly visible if the aircraft approaches from the south.

🚢

Lake Erie Shoreline

Views of the industrial and natural coastlines of Ontario's southern border.

The right side is essential for seeing Niagara Falls; however, visibility depends on the specific landing pattern used by YYZ that day. For the best desert colors over Utah, choose a flight that departs LAS in the morning when the low sun angle highlights canyon depth and texture. If your flight path is southerly, the right side may also catch distant views of the Grand Canyon's north rim.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🎰

Las Vegas Strip

Glittering views of the world-famous hotels and neon lights shortly after takeoff if the flight departs toward the north.

🏔️

Wasatch Range

The dramatic mountain wall rising sharply from the Salt Lake Valley floor in Utah.

🌽

Great Plains Patterns

Geometric tapestries created by center-pivot irrigation circles across Nebraska and Iowa.

🌊

Upper Great Lakes

Deep blue waters and the rugged coastlines of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron as you cross into Canada.

🏙️

Greater Toronto Area

The sprawling suburban landscape of the Golden Horseshoe during the final approach.

Sit on the left for sunset views on evening flights, as the sun will be behind you to the south, illuminating the terrain. If departing LAS to the north, the left side provides the most direct view of the Strip's iconic skyline. In winter, keep an eye out for frozen Great Lakes shorelines which create stunning white fractures in the water.
