TLC → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Licenciado Adolfo Lopez Mateos International Airport (Toluca) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including an immediate view of the Nevado de Toluca volcano and the spectacular approach over Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam into Las Vegas.
Nevado de Toluca
The fourth highest peak in Mexico, a spectacular stratovolcano visible shortly after departure from Toluca.
Mexican Plateau
Expansive views of the high central plateau and the semi-arid landscape of northern Mexico.
Colorado River
The winding blue artery of the American Southwest as it carves through the desert towards the Gulf of California.
Hoover Dam
An iconic engineering marvel bridging the gap between Nevada and Arizona, visible during the final arrival sequence.
Lake Mead
The stark contrast of deep blue water against the jagged, sun-bleached desert mountains of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
The Las Vegas Strip
Panoramic views of the world-famous resort corridor and the MSG Sphere when the flight approaches from the east.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Aim for a seat behind the wing for unobstructed photos of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. On evening arrivals, this side provides the most iconic view of the neon-lit Las Vegas Strip as the aircraft lines up for the runway.
Toluca Valley
Aerial perspective of the high-altitude industrial hub and the sprawling urban landscape surrounding TLC airport.
Sierra Madre Occidental
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain ridges and deep canyons that define western Mexico's geography.
Sonoran Desert
The vast, arid expanse of the desert spanning the border, featuring unique geological textures and dry lake beds.
Red Rock Canyon
During the final descent, catch glimpses of the vibrant crimson Aztec Sandstone cliffs to the west of the city.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing clearer visibility of the Mexican highlands. This side is also excellent for viewing the Spring Mountains as the plane maneuvers for landing at Harry Reid International.
