Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Denver to Winnipeg. Left side wins both ends of the flight. The Rocky Mountain Front Range at departure is the most dramatic view of the entire route, and the Red River valley and Winnipeg approach on the left at landing rounds out the experience. The mid-flight portion over the northern Great Plains is largely flat on both sides, so the departure and arrival views are what matter most.

During takeoff from Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. DEN typically departs east or northeast on runways 16/34 or 8/26. A northeast departure on runway 34L/R puts the Rocky Mountains on the left (west) side as the aircraft climbs and turns north. You get a sweeping view of the entire Front Range from Pikes Peak in the south to Longs Peak in the north, with Denver's grid spread out below. Notable sights include: Front Range of the Rockies (Longs Peak, Pikes Peak visible as bookends), Denver metro grid and downtown skyline, Cherry Creek Reservoir southeast of the city, the high plains stretching east.

When landing at Winnipeg International (YWG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Winnipeg's Richardson International typically lands from the south or southeast on runways 13/31 or 18/36. Approaching from the south on a northward track, the left (west) side gives a clear view of the Red River winding through the city and the flat Manitoba prairie patchwork. The right side is largely featureless agricultural land. Notable sights include: Red River and Assiniboine River confluence in central Winnipeg, downtown Winnipeg skyline, the vast flat Manitoba agricultural grid, Lake Winnipeg visible as a pale smudge on the far northern horizon on clear days.

The flight from Denver International (DEN) to Winnipeg International (YWG) takes Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast across the Nebraska Sandhills — a vast grass-stabilized dune field visible as gently rolling tan terrain — then crosses into South Dakota over the Missouri River, a wide braided ribbon cutting through the plains. Northern South Dakota and southern North Dakota are flat agricultural land with occasional glacial lakes and prairie potholes. The Canadian border crossing near Pembina, North Dakota brings the Red River valley into view as the aircraft begins descent into Winnipeg.
