Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from St George to Salt Lake City. While the takeoff offers excellent red rock scenery on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and sustained views of the Wasatch Range—Utah's most iconic mountain feature—plus the contrast of the Great Salt Lake and urban Salt Lake City. The landing views are more visually rewarding for the majority of passengers.

During takeoff from St George Regional Airport (SGU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer immediate views of the Virgin River valley and the red rock formations that define St. George's landscape. The northbound departure path climbs directly over these distinctive geological features before turning toward Salt Lake City. Notable sights include: Virgin River valley, Red cliffs and Navajo Sandstone formations east of St. George, Snow Canyon State Park ridgelines, Intermediate Valley to the northeast.

When landing at Salt Lake City International (SLC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into Salt Lake City. The standard approach from the south brings the Wasatch Range into clear view on the left, with the Jordan River valley and the city sprawl visible below. Notable sights include: Wasatch Range peaks (including Mount Olympus and surrounding ridges), Jordan River valley, Salt Lake City urban grid, Great Salt Lake shoreline to the northwest.

The flight from St George Regional Airport (SGU) to Salt Lake City International (SLC) takes Approximately 50-60 minutes.

The flight path climbs north from St. George through the Virgin River drainage, crosses the Intermediate Valley, then follows a northwesterly track toward Salt Lake City. Notable midpoint features include the Hurricane Fault escarpment (visible as a linear ridge feature), the transition from red rock country to the Great Basin desert, and the approach to the Wasatch Front where the mountains become increasingly prominent. The Jordan River valley becomes visible approximately 15-20 minutes before landing.
