Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic St. Louis skyline, including the Gateway Arch, upon approach, alongside the scenic topography of the Ozark Plateau and the winding Lake of the Ozarks.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

Ozark Plateau

The northern edge of the Ozark Mountains, offering undulating forested hills and deep green valleys.

🐉

Lake of the Ozarks

A distinctively serpentine 'dragon-shaped' lake that is a major landmark in central Missouri.

🏙️

St. Louis Skyline

A spectacular view of the downtown corridor as the plane aligns for landing at Lambert International.

⚓

The Gateway Arch

The world-famous 630-foot stainless steel monument standing prominently along the Mississippi River bank.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best view of the Gateway Arch, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed photo. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting on the Arch and downtown buildings during the eastward approach.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Grand Lake o' the Cherokees

A massive, jagged reservoir in Northeast Oklahoma known for its extensive shoreline and recreational boating.

🚜

Missouri Prairie Lands

Expansive agricultural patterns featuring a patchwork of green and gold fields across the mid-Missouri plains.

🏞️

Missouri River Bends

Dramatic oxbows and wide curves of the Missouri River as the flight nears the St. Louis metropolitan area.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep a lookout for the convergence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers just north of the city during the final descent stages.
