Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Charlotte to Salt Lake City. The left side wins primarily due to the spectacular Wasatch Range and Great Salt Lake views during descent into SLC, which outweigh the modest takeoff scenery difference on the right side of the CLT departure.

During takeoff from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing CLT westbound, the right side gives a brief glimpse of the Charlotte skyline and rolling Piedmont terrain before the flight settles onto its cruise track. It's not dramatic, but it edges out the left, which faces mostly flat farmland with little to see. Notable sights include: Charlotte skyline, Uptown towers, Piedmont rolling hills.

When landing at Salt Lake City International (SLC), sit on the Left side for the best views. On approach into Salt Lake City from the east, the left side delivers dramatic views of the Wasatch Range's snow-capped peaks and canyons as the plane descends toward the valley floor. Passengers can also see the Great Salt Lake and the city grid nestled against the mountains just before landing. Notable sights include: Wasatch Range, Great Salt Lake, Salt Lake Valley, Oquirrh Mountains.

The flight from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) to Salt Lake City International (SLC) takes 3h 45m.
