Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the rising Rocky Mountains and the Denver skyline as you approach the city from the southeast.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Liberal Departure

Aerial views of Liberal, Kansas and the nearby Mid-America Air Museum shortly after takeoff.

🚜

High Plains Tapestry

Observe the intricate patterns of center-pivot irrigation circles across the Kansas and Colorado border.

🏔️

Front Range Panorama

As the flight nears Denver, enjoy a sweeping view of the Colorado Rockies, including the prominent Pikes Peak to the southwest.

🏢

Denver Skyline

A clear view of the downtown skyscrapers framed against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountain range during descent.

For the most dramatic experience, book a morning flight to have the sun at your back, illuminating the Rocky Mountains. On the approach into DEN, the left side usually provides the best angle for the skyline. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the flat plains to the sudden elevation of the mountains.

Right Side Highlights
5.2
🌾

Endless Horizons

A vast perspective of the Great Plains, showcasing the sheer scale of the American Midwest.

💧

Arkansas River Basin

Possible sightings of the Arkansas River winding through the arid landscape of southeast Colorado.

⛺

DEN Terminal Tents

Get a great view of the iconic white peaked roof of the Jeppesen Terminal during the final approach.

🛤️

High Plains Rail Lines

Spot the long freight trains snaking across the landscape, following the historic trade routes.

The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy the geometric beauty of the prairie. In the afternoon, this side remains shaded from the harsh western sun. During landing, watch for the massive scale of the Denver International Airport property, which is larger than the island of Manhattan.
