Which side of the plane to sit from Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (Liberia) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this route, primarily for the spectacular approach into Denver. As the plane descends from the south, passengers on the left are treated to a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, including iconic peaks like Pikes Peak and Longs Peak, while early flight segments offer rugged Pacific coastal views.

Papagayo Peninsula
Immediately after takeoff, view the jagged coastline and luxury resorts of the Guanacaste region.
Nicaraguan Volcanic Chain
Spot the active peaks of Telica and San Cristobal venting steam along the western horizon.
Texas Coastline
Aerial views of the Galveston Bay and the massive industrial infrastructure of the Houston Ship Channel.
Great Plains Grid
The mesmerizing geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation circles across Kansas and Oklahoma.
Rocky Mountain Front Range
The highlight of the trip: a continuous wall of snow-capped peaks stretching as far as the eye can see.
For the best photography of the Rocky Mountains, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion. On morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfectly lit, glare-free views of the mountains during the descent into Colorado. In winter, look for the 'white-out' effect over the Great Plains which highlights the mountain terrain even further.
