Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Everett. The right side wins overall because the Las Vegas departure view of the Strip and Red Rock Canyon is one of the most visually dramatic urban departures in the American West. En route, the right side also tracks closer to the Sierra Nevada and Cascade foothills through central Oregon. The landing left-side advantage is real but shorter in duration.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. McCarran typically departs northbound on runways 19L/19R (heading south then turning north) or uses runways 01L/01R heading north. On a northbound departure toward PAE, the right side gives you a clear view of the Las Vegas Strip and downtown as you climb out over the valley, with the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon visible to the west. Left side faces east toward the flat Mojave desert with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip (resort corridor), Red Rock Canyon escarpment to the west, Lake Mead to the northeast visible during turn, Frenchman Mountain east of the city.

When landing at Snohomish Co (PAE), sit on the Left side for the best views. PAE sits just east of Puget Sound, and approaches typically come in from the south or southeast. The left side on approach gives you Puget Sound, the Olympic Peninsula across the water, and the Seattle skyline to the south. The right side faces inland toward the Cascades, which is also scenic but the water and city combination on the left is more distinctive. Notable sights include: Puget Sound and its island-dotted waters, Seattle skyline to the south, Olympic Mountains across the Sound to the west, Snohomish River delta flats below.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to Snohomish Co (PAE) takes Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes.

The flight crosses the Mojave Desert, then the Sierra Nevada range over eastern California or Nevada, the Great Basin high desert of central Oregon, the Cascade volcanic peaks including Mount Shasta visible to the west, Mount Jefferson, and Mount Rainier becoming prominent as you descend into the Puget Sound lowlands. The Columbia River valley may be visible crossing into Washington state.
