YQR → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Regina International Airport (Regina) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a stunning vantage point for the craggy peaks of the Idaho wilderness and the stark, white expanses of the Great Salt Lake Desert. Most importantly, as flights from the north often orbit the city for landing, the right side usually offers the iconic 'birds-eye' view of the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding Mojave mountain ranges during the final approach.

Montana Rockies
Rugged, high-altitude terrain and deep river valleys as you cross the US-Canada border.
Bonneville Salt Flats
The vast, blindingly white salt crust of the Great Salt Lake Desert, famously used for land speed records.
Craters of the Moon
Vast lava fields and volcanic formations in central Idaho visible on clear days.
Nevada Test Site
Remote desert basins and restricted mountain ranges north of Las Vegas, including areas near the infamous Area 51.
The Las Vegas Strip
The world-famous skyline of mega-resorts, usually visible during the final left-hand turn into McCarran.
The right side is the 'money side' for the classic Las Vegas arrival. For evening flights, you will witness the desert sunset and then the sudden explosion of neon lights as the Strip comes into view. To see the ground clearly, aim for a seat in front of or behind the wing, as the wing can block the view of the Salt Flats and the city descent.

Saskatchewan Prairies
The intricate geometric patterns of the Canadian prairies immediately after takeoff from Regina.
Wasatch Range
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks rising sharply above Salt Lake City, Utah.
Great Salt Lake
The eastern shores of the massive inland sea, often showing distinct color variations due to salinity.
Lake Mead
The deep blue waters of the reservoir contrasted against the vibrant red and orange desert rock.
Hoover Dam
A glimpse of the massive concrete structure and the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. This side is superior for viewing the transition from the Great Plains into the high mountain deserts of Utah and the massive water reservoir of Lake Mead just before landing. During winter months, the Wasatch mountains on this side are particularly spectacular when covered in snow.
