A stunning bird's-eye view of the narrow barrier island and the turquoise waters of the Gulf.
Laguna Madre
The shallow, salty lagoon separating the mainland from Padre Island, known for its unique ecosystem.
Corpus Christi Bay
Views of the bustling port and the USS Lexington museum ship if the flight path hugs the coast.
Austin Metro
The expanding skyline of the Texas capital and the shimmering Colorado River.
Dallas Skyline
An iconic view of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and the Reunion Tower during the final approach sequence.
The first 10 minutes of the flight are the highlight; keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up from BRO for the coastline. For morning flights, this side will be very bright, so window shades or sunglasses are recommended. On the arrival into DFW, the right side usually provides a superior view of the high-rises in downtown Dallas.

South Texas Ranchland
Vast expanses of the King Ranch and the rugged brush country of the Rio Grande Valley.
San Antonio Skyline
Distant views of the Tower of the Americas and the urban sprawl of Military City USA.
Texas Hill Country
The transition from coastal plains to the rolling limestone hills of Central Texas.
Lake Waco
A prominent reservoir located at the confluence of the Bosque River.
Fort Worth Skyline
Clear views of the 'City of Cowboys and Culture' during the descent into the DFW metroplex.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the more rugged, inland geography of Texas. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light hits the Hill Country. Try to sit forward of the wing to avoid heat distortion from the engines when trying to spot San Antonio in the distance.
