Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular sequence of the Great Salt Lake, the vibrant red canyons of Utah, and the stark transition to the Texas High Plains.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Salish Sea

Beautiful views of the San Juan Islands and the Washington coastline during climb-out.

🌋

Mount Rainier

Washington's tallest peak is often visible as a massive white silhouette to the south.

🧂

Great Salt Lake

The distinct turquoise and pink hues of the lake contrasted against the white salt flats.

🏜️

Utah Canyons

Incredible bird's-eye views of the deep red rock formations and winding river beds.

💨

Texas Wind Farms

Thousands of wind turbines stretching across the flat horizons of the Texas Panhandle.

🏗️

Fort Worth Skyline

Views of downtown Fort Worth and the historic Stockyards depending on the arrival path.

This is the preferred side for geological variety. Mid-day flights highlight the vivid colors of the Southwest deserts. Watch for the sharp contrast between the arid Great Basin and the fertile Texas plains.

🏔️

Mount Baker

An icy volcanic giant visible shortly after departing Vancouver towards the south.

Great Plains

Intricate geometric patterns of massive agricultural fields in Oklahoma and Kansas.

The sprawling expansion of the northern DFW Metroplex visible during the final descent.

Sit on this side for better views of the high Rockies and the northern suburban sprawl of Dallas. Morning flights provide soft, flattering light on the mountain ranges to the east.
