YYZ → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for the iconic approach into Las Vegas, offering a high probability of seeing the Grand Canyon and a spectacular view of the Las Vegas Strip during the final descent.
Toronto Skyline
Immediate views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario shoreline shortly after takeoff from Pearson.
Great Plains Patterns
Geometric crop circles and irrigation patterns across the agricultural heartland of the Midwest.
Colorado Rockies
Expansive views of the southern Rocky Mountains, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep valleys.
Grand Canyon
Aerial perspective of the North Rim and the intricate carvings of the Colorado River as you enter Arizona.
Lake Mead
The massive blue reservoir contrasting against the stark desert landscape just before landing.
The Las Vegas Strip
A front-row seat to the Bellagio fountains, High Roller, and mega-resorts when landing on Runway 26.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; the sun will be behind the aircraft or on the opposite side, illuminating the Grand Canyon and the Strip perfectly without glare. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the desert floor.
Great Lakes
Deep blue vistas of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan as the flight heads westward across the border.
Mississippi River
A clear view of the massive river system dividing the eastern and western United States.
Front Range
The dramatic point where the flat plains suddenly give way to the towering peaks of the Rockies.
Utah Red Rocks
Brilliant orange and red sandstone formations characteristic of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
Valley of Fire
Vivid red rock outcrops in the Mojave Desert that glow intensely during the golden hour.
The right side offers superior lighting for photography throughout the flight as it faces north, away from the direct sun. This side is particularly beautiful during winter months when the northern mountain ranges are heavily covered in snow, providing high-contrast landscape views.
