Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Chicago to Omaha. This is a short flight over the flat Midwest with no mountains, coastlines, or major terrain features. The left side gets a slight edge purely from the Missouri River and Omaha skyline visible on approach.

During takeoff from Chicago Ohare International (ORD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing ORD to the west, the right side offers a brief glimpse of Chicago's western suburbs and Lake Michigan's edge may peek in on initial turns, though most of this is a flat plains departure. Neither side has strong terrain features. Notable sights include: Chicago western suburbs, O'Hare runway grid, Fox River valley.

When landing at Eppley Afld (OMA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching OMA from the east, the left side offers a view of the Missouri River winding through the city and downtown Omaha's modest skyline just before landing. It's a subtle but real point of visual interest compared to the featureless plains on the right. Notable sights include: Missouri River, downtown Omaha skyline, Eppley Airfield's riverside location.

The flight from Chicago Ohare International (ORD) to Eppley Afld (OMA) takes 1h 25m.

Flat agricultural plains of northern Illinois and Iowa, the Mississippi River crossing near the Iowa border, and scattered small towns amid corn and soybean fields
