Which side of the plane to sit from Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (Puerto Vallarta) to Edmonton International Airport (Edmonton)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the rugged Sierra Madre Occidental upon departure and the dramatic front ranges of the Canadian Rockies during the descent into Alberta.
Search flights from PVR to YEG
Sierra Madre Occidental
Dramatic, jagged volcanic peaks and deep canyons rising immediately east of Puerto Vallarta.
Sonoran Desert
Vast stretches of reddish earth and mountain islands spanning the Arizona-Mexico border.
Glacier National Park
Breathtaking views of the 'Crown of the Continent' near the Montana-Alberta border.
Canadian Rockies
Spectacular snow-capped peaks including the front ranges of Banff and Kananaskis Country.
Calgary Skyline
The urban sprawl and iconic Bow building visible as the flight tracks north toward Edmonton.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain enthusiasts. Afternoon flights are particularly stunning as the setting sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Rockies. Watch for the sudden change from the flat prairies to the vertical wall of the mountains as you enter Alberta air space.

Gulf of California
Deep turquoise waters contrasting with the arid coastline of mainland Mexico shortly after takeoff.
Baja Peninsula
Distant views of the long, mountainous finger of the Baja California peninsula to the west.
Mojave Desert
Intricate patterns of dry lake beds and alluvial fans across the Southwestern United States.
Las Vegas Strip
Visible as a concentrated grid of towers amidst the desert if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Idaho Panhandle
Dense evergreen forests and deep river valleys as you approach the Canadian border.
Select the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. This side is excellent for viewing the transition from the tropical Pacific coast to the high deserts of the US Great Basin. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes after takeoff for the best ocean-to-desert transitions.
