Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denver to Memphis. The left side delivers the two best moments of the flight: the Rocky Mountain Front Range on departure and the Mississippi River with Memphis skyline on approach. The right side offers little more than Kansas and Missouri farmland throughout.

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. On an eastbound departure heading southeast toward Memphis, the left (north/northeast) side gives you a clear look back at the Front Range of the Rockies including Longs Peak and the Denver metro sprawl. The right side faces open plains with little of interest. Notable sights include: Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, Longs Peak, Denver city grid, Cherry Creek Reservoir.

When landing at Memphis International (MEM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Memphis International typically lands on runways oriented roughly east-west (runway 18L/36R or 18C/36C). On approach from the west or northwest, the left side faces south and gives a clear view of the Mississippi River as it curves through Memphis, plus the distinctive downtown skyline. The right side looks north over suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Mississippi River, Memphis downtown skyline, Mud Island, Shelby Farms Park.

The flight from Denver International (DEN) to Memphis International (MEM) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the high plains of eastern Colorado and Kansas, then the Flint Hills of central Kansas, followed by the flat agricultural patchwork of Missouri. The Ozark Plateau in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas may be visible as gently rolling forested terrain before descending into the flat Mississippi Alluvial Plain approaching Memphis.
