YYZDEN

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Great Lakes during departure and a more dramatic panoramic view of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, including Longs Peak, during the descent into Colorado.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

Lake Huron & Georgian Bay

Clear views of the blue waters and rugged shorelines of Southern Ontario's cottage country.

🏙️

Milwaukee Waterfront

The city's Lake Michigan shoreline and distinctive Pierhead Lighthouse are often visible.

🏜️

Nebraska Sandhills

Look for the unique, undulating grass-stabilized sand dunes of north-central Nebraska.

🏔️

The Front Range

Spectacular views of 14,259-foot Longs Peak and the snow-capped Rockies as you begin your descent.

✈️

DIA Tented Roof

A great angle to see the iconic white-tented Jeppesen Terminal during the final landing sequence.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun is behind you, illuminating the Great Lakes and the mountains. In winter, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the brown plains and white peaks.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Detroit & Windsor

Aerial views of the international border crossing and the Detroit River shortly after departure.

🏙️

Chicago Skyline

On clear days, the distant Willis Tower and Lake Michigan shoreline are visible to the south.

🌊

The Mississippi River

Watch for the massive industrial and natural curves of the river near the Iowa-Illinois border.

🌽

Midwestern Patchwork

Endless geometric patterns of the Iowa and Nebraska farm belts, especially vibrant in summer.

🌇

Denver South Suburbs

Views of the sprawling Denver metropolitan area and the Tech Center during the final approach.

Sit on the left for better views of the urban landscapes of the Midwest. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the southern sun can create significant glare and heat through the window.
