LAX → OKC
Which side of the plane to sit from Los Angeles International Airport (Los Angeles) to Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers the highest probability of viewing the northern stretches of the Grand Canyon and the dramatic alpine scenery of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Santa Monica Bay
Breathtaking views of the Pacific coastline immediately after takeoff from LAX depending on wind direction.
San Bernardino Mountains
Observe Mt. San Antonio and the rugged peaks flanking the eastern edge of the Los Angeles Basin.
Grand Canyon North Rim
The intricate erosion and colorful layers of the canyon are often visible in the distance during the middle segment.
Lake Powell
The deep blue waters of the lake contrasting with red sandstone are visible on northern-leaning flight paths.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southern terminus of the Rocky Mountains provides sharp alpine scenery as you cross into New Mexico.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. During winter, the snow on the San Bernardino Mountains and northern New Mexico peaks is stunning. The Grand Canyon usually appears about an hour into the flight; look north towards the horizon.

Expansive desert landscapes featuring ancient lava flows and cinder cones.
Sedona Red Rocks
The distinctive crimson sandstone formations of Central Arizona's high desert visible from high altitude.
Meteor Crater
A perfectly preserved 50,000-year-old impact site visible as a giant bowl in the desert floor near Winslow.
Albuquerque
View the Rio Grande valley and the sharp rise of the Sandia Mountains to the east of the city.
Texas Panhandle
The transition from rugged desert to flat agricultural grids and massive wind farms near Amarillo.
The right side is ideal for spotting Meteor Crater, one of the most identifiable landmarks from 35,000 feet. On afternoon flights, this side will be the 'sunny' side, which can make photography difficult due to glare. Look for the colorful Palo Duro Canyon just south of Amarillo about 30 minutes before descent into OKC.
