Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denver to Jackson. The left side delivers the dramatic Rocky Mountain Front Range panorama on departure, which is the single most visually spectacular moment of this flight. The landing view on the right is interesting but the flat Mississippi delta landscape is less dramatic. Left side wins overall for the mountain departure alone.

Notable sights include: Front Range Rocky Mountains, Longs Peak, Denver metro grid, Cherry Creek Reservoir.

When landing at Jackson International (JAN), sit on the Right side for the best views. JAN typically lands on runway 16 heading south or runway 34 heading north. On approach from the northwest, the right (west) side gives a view over the Mississippi River floodplain and the city of Jackson itself.
