Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Milwaukee to Denver. Left side wins both ends of the flight. At takeoff you get Milwaukee's lakefront and Lake Michigan; on approach to Denver you get the full Front Range panorama. The mid-flight view over Iowa and Nebraska is relatively flat on both sides, so the left side's advantage at the scenic bookends makes it the clear overall pick.

During takeoff from General Mitchell International (MKE), sit on the Left side for the best views. MKE typically departs westbound on runway 25L/25R, meaning a left-side seat faces south toward Lake Michigan's shoreline and the Milwaukee lakefront as the aircraft climbs and turns southwest. You get a clear view of the harbor, the downtown skyline, and the lake stretching to the horizon. Notable sights include: Milwaukee lakefront and harbor, downtown Milwaukee skyline, Lake Michigan extending southeast, Mitchell Park area grid.

When landing at Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Denver International sits northeast of downtown Denver, and aircraft typically approach from the east or northeast on runways oriented roughly east-west. A left-side seat on approach gives a clear view south and southwest toward the Front Range — the Rocky Mountains including Longs Peak, the Indian Peaks, and Mount Evans are all visible on the left side as you descend over the plains. Notable sights include: Front Range of the Rocky Mountains (Longs Peak, Indian Peaks, Mount Evans), Denver downtown skyline, Denver International Airport's white tensile roof terminal, Colorado plains stretching east.

The flight from General Mitchell International (MKE) to Denver International (DEN) takes Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes.

The flight tracks southwest over southern Wisconsin farmland, then crosses the Mississippi River near the Quad Cities area (Iowa-Illinois border), continues over the flat agricultural plains of Iowa and Nebraska, crosses the Missouri River, and then traverses the increasingly arid high plains of eastern Colorado before the Front Range comes into view on descent. The terrain is predominantly flat to gently rolling the entire mid-section with few dramatic features until the Rockies appear on the western horizon roughly 30-40 minutes before landing.
