Which side of the plane to sit from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (Cleveland) to Austin Bergstrom International Airport (Austin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Ozark Mountains and a high-altitude view of the Dallas-Fort Worth sprawl before transitioning into the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
Downtown Cleveland
Catch a glimpse of the Lake Erie shoreline and the Terminal Tower shortly after takeoff.
Ozark Plateau
View the ancient, weathered peaks and deep valleys of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas.
DFW Skyline
On a clear day, see the sprawling urban expanse of Dallas and Fort Worth to the west.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the green forests of Arkansas to the arid, rocky landscape of Central Texas. This side typically offers better views of the Texas Hill Country on the final descent into Austin.
Mississippi River
Cross the nation's largest river system near the border of Tennessee and Arkansas.
Piney Woods
Observe the transition into the dense, green pine forests of East Texas.
Circuit of the Americas
Look for the distinct red-and-white observation tower of the F1 track just south of Austin.
Sit on the left for a direct view of the Mississippi River crossing. If landing to the north in Austin (Runway 35L/R), you might catch a glimpse of the Circuit of the Americas race track. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct sun glare.
