LAX → ICT
Which side of the plane to sit from Los Angeles International Airport (Los Angeles) to Wichita Eisenhower National Airport (Wichita)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior angle for viewing the Las Vegas skyline and the dramatic transition into the high Colorado Rockies while avoiding the harsh glare of the southern sun during afternoon flights.

San Gabriel Mountains
Rugged peaks immediately visible following the climb out of the Los Angeles Basin.
Las Vegas Strip
Clear views of the iconic mega-resorts and desert landscape of the Las Vegas valley.
Virgin River Gorge
Stunning deep canyons and jagged limestone cliffs located at the Arizona-Utah border.
San Juan Mountains
Breathtaking high-altitude peaks of the Colorado Rockies, often snow-capped year-round.
Flint Hills
The gentle, rolling tallgrass prairie landscape as you descend toward Wichita.
Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and cabin heat. About 40-50 minutes into the flight, look for the glimmer of the Las Vegas Strip. In winter, the snow coverage on the Colorado peaks provides incredible contrast for photography.

Mount San Jacinto
A massive peak towering over the Palm Springs area visible during the initial eastward turn.
Hoover Dam
An engineering marvel nestled between the canyon walls of the Colorado River.
Grand Canyon
Expansive views of the South Rim's colorful strata and the winding river below.
Meteor Crater
A perfectly preserved impact site visible as a distinct, symmetrical bowl in the Arizona desert.
Sandia Mountains
Dramatic granite faces overlooking the Rio Grande Valley and Albuquerque area.
The right side is best for morning flights when the sun illuminates the depths of the Grand Canyon. Keep a sharp eye out for Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona; it is a small but distinct circle that is easy to miss if you aren't looking closely at the desert floor.
