Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Salt Lake City to Spokane. Right-side seats win overall because the dramatic Wasatch Range departure view is more visually distinctive than the landing approach. The northbound flight path keeps the Wasatch visible for the first 20-30 minutes of flight, and the landing view, while pleasant, shows more subtle terrain.

During takeoff from Salt Lake City International (SLC), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Wasatch Range immediately after departure. SLC typically departs runways 16L/R heading north, so right windows show the dramatic eastern wall of the Wasatch Mountains rising directly alongside the aircraft during climb-out. Notable sights include: Wasatch Range (east face), Great Salt Lake (northwest, visible as you climb), Salt Lake Valley floor, Antelope Island in Great Salt Lake.

When landing at Spokane International (GEG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide the best view during approach to Spokane. Aircraft typically land runways 03L/R heading north, so left windows face west and southwest during descent, showing the Spokane Valley and the Blue Mountains on the western horizon. Notable sights include: Spokane Valley floor (agricultural and developed areas), Blue Mountains (southwest, distant), Spokane River valley, Palouse Hills (rolling terrain to the south).

The flight from Salt Lake City International (SLC) to Spokane International (GEG) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses north through central Utah and into southern Idaho. Notable features include the Bear Lake region (visible around 45 minutes into flight on the left/west side), the transition from the Wasatch Range system to the Basin and Range topography, and the gradual shift from high-elevation terrain to the lower Palouse and Spokane Valley regions. The Bannock Range and Portneuf Range appear on the eastern (right) side during the midpoint of the flight.
