Which side of the plane to sit from Loreto International Airport (Loreto) to Los Angeles International Airport (Los Angeles)?
Right Side of the Plane

Islands of Loreto
Spectacular aerial views of Isla Carmen and Isla Coronado immediately after takeoff.
Sierra de la Giganta
The rugged, volcanic mountain spine of the Baja peninsula with its deep canyons and sharp ridges.
Salton Sea
The massive, shimmering inland saline lake located in the heart of the California desert.
San Jacinto Peak
The towering 10,834-foot summit overlooking Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.
Downtown LA Skyline
A classic view of the skyscrapers, Dodger Stadium, and the Hollywood Sign during the approach to LAX.
Sit on the right for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is consistently better for seeing the dramatic contrast of the Gulf of California's blue water and the desert landscape, and it provides the best view of the Los Angeles city center during the standard arrival path.
