Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Great Lakes early in the flight and the iconic approach over the Great Salt Lake and northern Wasatch Range upon arrival in Utah.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Great Lakes Shorelines

Vistas of Lake Erie and potentially the southern tip of Lake Michigan near Chicago.

🏙️

Chicago Skyline

On clear days, see the Sears Tower and the urban sprawl of the Windy City along the lakefront.

🌊

Missouri River

The wide, meandering curves of the Missouri River crossing through South Dakota or Nebraska.

🏜️

Great Salt Lake

The shimmering, multicolored expanse of the Great Salt Lake and the causeways crossing it.

🏔️

Northern Wasatch

Dramatic, jagged peaks of the northern Wasatch Mountains right before touchdown.

This is the 'money' side for the Salt Lake City arrival. Aim for a window seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Great Salt Lake. During sunset flights, the lake reflects incredible pink and orange hues. Watch for Antelope Island sitting in the middle of the lake during the final minutes of flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

Rolling ridges and valleys of Pennsylvania and the Allegheny Plateau.

🏙️

Midwestern Hubs

Aerial views of cities like Indianapolis or the outskirts of St. Louis depending on the flight path.

🌊

Mississippi River

The massive North American waterway winding through the heart of the continent.

🌾

The Patchwork Quilt

Infinite geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation across the Nebraska and Kansas plains.

🏔️

Mount Nebo

Views of the highest peak in the Wasatch Range as you begin your descent into the Salt Lake Valley.

The left side is excellent for morning flights as the sun is behind you, providing clear, glare-free views of the Midwestern agricultural patterns. On final approach from the south, this side provides views of the Oquirrh Mountains and the massive Kennecott Copper Mine.
