Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Baltimore. While the right side wins at takeoff for the Strip view, the left side offers more sustained interest across the flight: after departing you can cross to the left to catch the Colorado Plateau and Four Corners region, the southern Rockies over Colorado, and then the Appalachians on descent, culminating in the excellent Chesapeake Bay arrival view. The left side delivers more geography over the full route.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Las Vegas departures heading east typically use runways 26L/26R or 19L/19R. On an eastbound departure, the right side gives you a clear view of the Las Vegas Strip as you climb out over the valley, with the Spring Mountains framing the scene to the west. The left side faces north toward Nellis Air Force Base and less dramatic terrain. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip (hotels and casinos clearly visible), Hoover Dam and Lake Mead to the southeast, Spring Mountains/Charleston Peak to the west, Henderson urban grid below.

When landing at Baltimore Washington International (BWI), sit on the Left side for the best views. BWI arrivals from the west typically use runway 28 or approach from the southwest, meaning the aircraft tracks over the Chesapeake Bay region on final. The left side gives you the best view of the Chesapeake Bay, the Baltimore Inner Harbor, and the Patapsco River on approach. The right side faces south toward less distinctive suburban terrain. Notable sights include: Chesapeake Bay (broad and unmistakable), Baltimore Inner Harbor and downtown skyline, Patapsco River estuary, Annapolis and the Naval Academy peninsula.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to Baltimore Washington International (BWI) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over the Colorado Plateau with its canyon systems and red rock terrain visible over northwestern Arizona and southern Utah, then crosses the Rocky Mountains over Colorado where the San Juan and Sawatch ranges are visible, transitions over the Great Plains of Kansas and Missouri, crosses the Ohio River valley, then the Appalachian ridges of West Virginia and Maryland before descending into the Chesapeake Bay lowlands.
