OKC → MSP
Which side of the plane to sit from Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City) to Minneapolis-St Paul International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport (Minneapolis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior urban views, including the Oklahoma City skyline shortly after takeoff, the Des Moines metropolitan area mid-flight, and the spectacular Mississippi River and Twin Cities skylines during the descent.
Oklahoma City Skyline
A clear view of the Devon Tower and the downtown OKC core immediately following a northward departure.
Des Moines Metro
The flight path frequently passes directly east of Iowa's capital, offering views of the golden-domed State Capitol.
The Mississippi River
Aerial perspective of the massive river system and its industrial barges as the plane prepares for landing.
Twin Cities Panorama
Breathtaking views of downtown Minneapolis, U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Chain of Lakes on the final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for city enthusiasts. For the best experience, book an evening flight to see the city lights of Des Moines and Minneapolis. During the winter, the frozen Mississippi River provides a unique icy landscape that is best viewed from this side.
Great Plains Patchwork
Extensive views of the geometric agricultural patterns and crop circles across Kansas and northern Missouri.
Minnesota Wind Farms
Massive clusters of white wind turbines visible across the plains of Southern Minnesota.
Minnesota River Valley
The winding path of the Minnesota River as the flight enters the terminal airspace near the Twin Cities.
Choose the left side for optimal lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is best for observing the vast agricultural geometry of the Midwest and the numerous small lakes that begin to appear as you cross the Minnesota border.
