Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Greenwood to Denver. While the right side wins at takeoff for the Yazoo River views, the left side delivers the more dramatic payoff: the full Rocky Mountain Front Range panorama on approach into Denver is one of the most visually striking arrivals in the continental US. Left side also gives you views of the Oklahoma and Kansas landscape transitions mid-flight.

During takeoff from Greenwood Leflore (GWO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Greenwood-LeFlore's primary runway is oriented roughly northeast-southwest (Runway 18/36). Departing northbound toward Denver, the right side faces west, giving you a clear view over the flat Mississippi Delta farmland and the Yazoo River meandering through the landscape. The left side looks east over more featureless agricultural land. Notable sights include: Yazoo River bends visible to the west, Mississippi Delta cotton and soybean field grid patterns, Greenwood city center and its street grid below, Lake George oxbow lake.

When landing at Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Denver International sits east of the city, and aircraft typically approach from the east on Runway 16L/34R or similar headings. On approach from the southeast, the left side faces west and southwest, giving a spectacular panoramic view of the entire Front Range — the Rocky Mountains rising abruptly from the plains. The right side looks east over flat eastern Colorado plains with little of interest. Notable sights include: Front Range of the Rocky Mountains (Longs Peak, Pikes Peak visible on clear days), Denver city skyline to the southwest, Cherry Creek Reservoir, the distinctive white tent roof of DEN terminal.

The flight from Greenwood Leflore (GWO) to Denver International (DEN) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes depending on aircraft and winds.

The flight crosses the Arkansas River valley in central Arkansas, the flat Oklahoma plains, the Red Hills of western Oklahoma, the Kansas high plains, and the dramatic transition from the flat Colorado eastern plains to the Rocky Mountain Front Range — one of the sharpest topographic transitions in North America, visible roughly 40-50 miles before Denver.
