Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denver to Louisville. The left side delivers the most dramatic single moment of the flight — the sweeping panorama of the entire Colorado Front Range during departure climb. The landing views on the right are pleasant but more modest. Left side wins overall for the Rocky Mountain spectacle alone.

During takeoff from Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. DEN typically departs eastward on runways 16/34 or 8/26.

Notable sights include: Front Range Rocky Mountains (Longs Peak, Pikes Peak to the south), Denver metro skyline, Cherry Creek Reservoir, Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

When landing at Bowman Fld (LOU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Bowman Field sits just east of Louisville's urban core. Aircraft typically approach from the west or northwest on runway 06/24. On a westerly approach, the right side faces south and southwest, offering views of the Ohio River, downtown Louisville skyline, and the broad river bends that define the city's geography. Notable sights include: Ohio River and its distinctive bends, downtown Louisville skyline, Louisville Slugger Field area, Indiana lowlands across the river.
