Which side of the plane to sit from Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent view of the spectacular Venezuelan coastline upon departure and often provides views of the Yucatan Peninsula during the transit across the Gulf of Mexico.

Cordillera de la Costa
Dramatic views of the steep mountains separating Caracas from the Caribbean Sea immediately after takeoff.
Los Roques Archipelago
If the flight path trends slightly west, you may spot the stunning coral atolls and turquoise waters of this national park.
Yucatan Coastline
Glimpses of the white sand beaches of Cancun and the Mayan Riviera as the plane crosses into the Gulf of Mexico.
Houston Metro Area
As the flight enters Texas airspace, the sprawling urban landscape and energy infrastructure become visible.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on early morning departures. During the winter months, this side avoids the harsh glare of the southern sun during the mid-day portion of the flight. Keep your camera ready for the first 10 minutes after departure from CCS for the mountain-to-sea transition.

ABC Islands
Clear views of Aruba and Curacao's arid landscapes and colorful architecture shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Western Cuba
Aerial perspectives of the Pinar del Rio province and the lush Vinales Valley if the route passes over the island.
Louisiana Wetlands
The intricate, fractal-like patterns of the Mississippi River delta and the coastal marshes as you approach the US.
DFW Metroplex
Views of the massive suburban developments and iconic sports stadiums in Arlington during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Caribbean islands early in the flight. On the approach into DFW, this side often yields better views of the airport's massive airfield layout. For afternoon flights, be prepared for more direct sunlight on this side of the cabin.
