Which side of the plane to sit from Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (Puerto Vallarta) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the rugged spine of the Sierra Madre Occidental and the dramatic Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, offering unparalleled mountain scenery.
Bahía de Banderas
Sweeping views of the deep blue bay and the Vallarta coastline immediately after takeoff.
Sierra Madre Occidental
Deep canyons and jagged peaks of Mexico's most iconic mountain range.
White Sands
The shimmering white gypsum dunes of New Mexico are often visible in the distance.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southernmost subrange of the Rockies, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Pikes Peak
One of Colorado's most famous Fourteeners standing tall near Colorado Springs.
Denver Skyline
A clear view of the Mile High City with the mountains as a backdrop during the descent.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic geographic transitions. Choose an afternoon flight to see the Rocky Mountains illuminated by the setting sun. Bring polarized sunglasses to cut through atmospheric haze over the desert regions.
Nuevo Vallarta
Aerial perspective of the luxury resorts and long sandy beaches of Nayarit.
Mexican Plateau
The vast, high-altitude arid heartland of central and northern Mexico.
Rio Grande
The historic river marking the international border between Mexico and the United States.
Great Plains
The massive expanse of flat, agricultural land meeting the horizon in eastern Colorado.
DIA Terminal
The iconic Teflon-coated fabric roof of Denver International Airport, designed to mimic the Rockies.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the plains. It offers a broader view of the vastness of the American West and the massive scale of the Denver airport complex upon arrival.
