25. McCarran International Airport, Nevada, US
The city of Las Vegas emerges suddenly in the desert as the flight approaches the runway, a patchwork of brown rooftops and tiny blue backyard pools, with constructions slowly approaching the valley’s western hills. However, if the flight is landing at night, you’re blasted with myriad shimmering lights in the middle of desert. The famous Vegas strip is clearly visible in the night flanked by brilliantly lighted casinos.
24. Wilkins Runway, Antartica
Although there’s a high chance you’ll never see this runway, but if you do, you will be greeted with a sight of landing on a runway carved into glacial ice with the help of lasers. The runway requires a team of 8 people to maintain it between each flight and maintain a level of friction. With blue sea all around, landing on a piece of ice is a thrill in itself.
