Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Anchorage to Las Vegas. The right side wins at both ends of this flight. During the long cruise over interior British Columbia, the Cascades, and the Sierra Nevada, the right side also tracks closer to the mountain spine running down the western edge of the continent, offering better views of volcanic peaks and high terrain than the left side's view over the Pacific coastal plain.

During takeoff from Ted Stevens Anchorage International (ANC), sit on the Right side for the best views. Anchorage departures on runway 15 (southbound) give the right side a direct view of the Chugach Mountains and Turnagain Arm. The right side tracks along the dramatic inlet and mountain wall as the aircraft climbs south toward the Alaska Range. Notable sights include: Turnagain Arm (tidal inlet), Chugach Mountains, Cook Inlet to the west, Anchorage city grid.

When landing at Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Las Vegas arrivals from the north typically use runway 26L/26R or 19, and the right side on approach from the north gives a clear view of the Las Vegas Strip and downtown grid before touchdown. The Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon are visible to the west on the right side during the descent. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip, Spring Mountains (Charleston Peak), Lake Mead to the northeast, Mojave Desert basin floor.

The flight from Ted Stevens Anchorage International (ANC) to Mc Carran International (LAS) takes Approximately 5 hours 30 minutes.
