Boston Skyline
A chance to see the Back Bay and Fenway Park if the flight departs on runways 22L or 22R.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Vibrant views of the rolling Appalachian chain across West Virginia and Virginia.

Mississippi River
A wide crossing of the iconic river, usually viewed south of its confluence with the Ohio River.
Dallas Skyline

Choose the left side for the best lighting as the sun remains to the south of the flight path, providing well-lit landscapes without harsh glare for most of the day. In the late afternoon, this side remains cooler as it faces away from the direct setting sun. The Mississippi River crossing typically occurs about 3.5 hours into the flight.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the northern slopes of the Appalachians and Ozarks illuminated by the sun. It is also the preferred side to avoid direct sunlight during the middle of the day. Keep an eye out for the transition from the rugged Ozark hills to the flatter plains of North Texas as you enter the final hour of flight.
