BNA → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Nashville International Airport (Nashville) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the rolling Ozark and Ouachita mountain ranges, along with a clearer view of the vast DFW airport complex upon landing.
Ozark National Forest
Observe the dense green canopy and undulating hills of northern Arkansas as you head west.
Little Rock Views
Aerial perspective of the Arkansas State Capitol and the Arkansas River as the flight passes over the central part of the state.
Ouachita Mountains
Distinctive east-west oriented ridges and valleys that provide a unique geographical texture from high altitude.
DFW Terminal Complex
Get a birds-eye view of the massive five-terminal layout and the constant stream of aircraft at one of the world's busiest hubs.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep an eye out for the rugged terrain of the Ouachita Mountains mid-flight. During landing, this side often provides the best view of the massive Fort Worth Alliance airport and the Texas Motor Speedway if the flight path loops from the north.
Music City Departure
Catch glimpses of downtown Nashville's 'Batman Building' and the Cumberland River shortly after takeoff.
Mississippi River Crossing
A stunning view of the wide Mississippi River near the Memphis area, marking the border between Tennessee and Arkansas.
Lake Texoma
Visible near the Texas-Oklahoma border, this massive reservoir stands out with its distinctive shoreline.
Dallas Skyline
If landing on the southern runways, you may see the Reunion Tower and the iconic Dallas skyline to the south.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is also better for spotting the winding Mississippi River and the sprawling suburbs of North Dallas during the final descent.
