Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bozeman to Los Angeles. Right-side seats win overall because the takeoff views of the Northern Rockies (Gallatin, Madison, and Bridger ranges) are more dramatic and sustained than the landing approach. While the landing offers coastal views, the climb-out provides longer, more visually striking mountain scenery.
