Flight Report: Delta 737-800 Las Vegas (LAS) to Salt Lake City (SLC)

By Swayne Martin @MartinsAviation
After a nice 2 day stop in Las Vegas for a sunset Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour, it was time to head towards our final destination, Reno (Lake Tahoe, California). This flight, amazingly, was our only flight out West which had PTV's! Since we had been on the 757-300, the seats hadn't yet been updated.

Taking off from Las Vegas was pretty cool. Banking to the right, we had a view of the strip with all of the casinos/hotels we has just been staying in. 


Flying towards Salt Lake City, we could the Grand Canyon in the distance. The window views on this flight were great. Here are some of the photos:

Here is our route of flight, both shown from Flightaware and the PTV found at my seat: 



Descending into Salt Lake City, we had some great views of the mountains which surrounded the city. When you fly into an airport surrounded by mountains such as Las Vegas or Salt Lake, spoilers are used to descend quickly into the pattern, eliminating a need to fly close to mountains. Conversely, flaps are used when climbing, to get up and out of the mountains quickly. 



Coming in on final, our timing was perfect for a really great photo. This is by far one of my favorite window view shots that I have ever taken:

Our next flight was to be on a Delta A320. We ended up landing and taxiing next to the plane we were to be on next. Here are some photos of that A320 which we flew on. (no trip report for that flight)
