Which side of the plane to sit from Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the southern Rockies, the vibrant Painted Desert, and the most iconic views of the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead during the descent.
Ozark Mountains
Aerial views of the deep valleys and plateau systems of Northern Arkansas.
Sangre de Cristo Range
The dramatic southern terminus of the Rocky Mountains near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Painted Desert
An expanse of badlands featuring stratified layers of red and lavender siltstone.
Grand Canyon
Distant but breathtaking views of the South Rim and the eastern canyon segments.
Lake Mead
The striking blue waters of the Colorado River reservoir against the desert landscape.
Las Vegas Strip
Often visible during the final turn toward McCarran, especially on northern arrivals.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun while viewing the Grand Canyon. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lake Mead during the descent into Las Vegas.
Ouachita National Forest
Dense, rolling pine-covered ridges of western Arkansas shortly after departure.
Texas Panhandle
The vast, flat agricultural grids and wind farms surrounding the Amarillo area.
Sandia Mountains
The rugged western escarpment overlooking the Rio Grande Valley and Albuquerque.
Meteor Crater
A remarkably well-preserved impact site visible as a giant bowl in the Arizona desert.
Hoover Dam
The massive concrete engineering marvel bridging the Black Canyon on final approach.
Sit on the left for stunning sunset views on evening departures from Little Rock. Watch for the distinct circular shape of Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona, approximately 30-40 minutes before landing.
