Which side of the plane to sit from Austin Bergstrom International Airport (Austin) to Dallas Love Field (Dallas)?

The right side is the clear winner for this short hop, providing a direct view of the iconic Dallas skyline during the final descent into Love Field, which is situated very close to the city center.

Downtown Austin
If departing to the north, you get a great view of the Texas State Capitol and the growing Austin skyline.
McLane Stadium
The distinct horseshoe-shaped Baylor University stadium is visible right on the Brazos River in Waco.
Dallas Skyline
The absolute highlight of the flight, offering a close-up view of Reunion Tower and the Bank of America Plaza.
Trinity River
The green corridor and Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge are clearly visible just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of the Dallas skyline. For the best view, sit several rows in front of or behind the wing. On night flights, the neon-lit skyscrapers of Dallas provide one of the best urban aerial views in the United States.

Lake Travis
The winding blue waters of the Highland Lakes are visible to the west shortly after takeoff from Austin.
Lake Whitney
A major recreational reservoir on the Brazos River seen halfway through the flight.
Arlington Stadiums
During the descent, look far west to spot AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field in the distance.
Joe Pool Lake
A large lake located just south of the DFW metroplex that serves as a landmark for the final approach.
The left side is preferable for morning flights as it avoids the harsh eastern sun. It offers better views of the Texas Hill Country's edge and the expansive suburban sprawl of the mid-cities between Dallas and Fort Worth.
