Which side of the plane to sit from Springfield Branson National Airport (Springfield) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of the American West, including the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies and the stunning red rock formations of Utah's National Parks.
Front Range Rockies
Panoramic views of the high Colorado peaks, often snow-capped well into summer.
Arches & Canyonlands
Vibrant red sandstone arches and deep canyon systems carved by the Colorado River.
Zion National Park
Towering cream, pink, and red sandstone cliffs visible as you cross the Utah-Nevada border.
Virgin River Gorge
A dramatic limestone canyon where the river cuts through the mountains.
Las Vegas Strip
A world-class view of the famous resort skyline if the plane approaches from the east.
This is the 'scenic' side for the westward journey. You'll pass directly over the heart of Utah's red rock country. For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the canyons. During sunset flights, the landscape below turns into a stunning palette of deep oranges and purples.
Ozark Plateau
Lush green forests and rolling hills of Southwest Missouri shortly after takeoff.
High Plains Patterns
Intricate geometric shapes of center-pivot irrigation fields across Western Kansas.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The dramatic southern edge of the Rocky Mountains near the Colorado-New Mexico border.
Painted Desert
Distant views of the vibrant, multi-colored badlands of Northern Arizona.
Lake Mead (South)
The southern shoreline of the massive reservoir and the Hoover Dam area during descent.
Sit on the left if you want to see the transition from the Ozarks into the High Plains. To avoid the harsh southern sun glare during the day, this side is preferable for photography. In the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, making it quite bright, so keep your shades handy until the descent.
