Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Los Angeles to Nashville. The right side delivers the more dramatic takeoff experience with the Los Angeles Basin panorama and San Gabriel Mountains, and across the mid-flight the right side also tracks closer to the southern edge of the route, offering views of the Mojave, Arizona high desert, and New Mexico terrain. The Nashville landing view on the left is good but relatively brief, making right the stronger choice for the overall journey.

During takeoff from Los Angeles International (LAX), sit on the Right side for the best views. LAX typically departs westward over the ocean on runways 24L/24R, then turns east. The right side gets the Santa Monica Bay coastline and then sweeps over the Los Angeles Basin with downtown LA, the San Gabriel Mountains, and eventually the Mojave Desert as the aircraft climbs eastward. The left side faces south toward the less dramatic South Bay and Long Beach. Notable sights include: Santa Monica Bay coastline, Downtown Los Angeles skyline, San Gabriel Mountains (including Mount San Antonio at 10,064 ft), Mojave Desert transition.

When landing at Nashville International (BNA), sit on the Left side for the best views. BNA typically lands on runways 13L/13R or 31L/31R depending on wind. On the common approach from the west on runway 13, the left side looks north and gets a clear view of downtown Nashville's skyline along the Cumberland River as the aircraft descends. The right side faces south toward less distinctive suburban terrain. Notable sights include: Downtown Nashville skyline, Cumberland River bend through the city, Percy Priest Lake to the southeast, rolling Tennessee hills of the Central Basin.
