Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Texas Gulf Coast upon departure and typically provides a better angle for the iconic Dallas skyline and Lewisville Lake during the DFW approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Mustang Island

Beautiful views of the barrier islands and the Gulf of Mexico during the initial climb.

🛶

Brazos River

Watch for the winding curves of this major Texas river as you head north across the plains.

🏙️

Dallas Skyline

A classic view of the Reunion Tower and the downtown skyscrapers during the DFW descent.

💧

Joe Pool Lake

A prominent reservoir often passed during the arrival sequence into the DFW metroplex.

✈️

DFW Airport Complex

Aerial view of one of the world's largest airports, including its massive terminal sprawl.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the 'Golden Hour' glow over the Dallas skyline. This side also offers the best perspective of the coastline if the plane turns east after takeoff.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏗️

Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge

The iconic bridge and downtown waterfront visible immediately after takeoff from CRP.

🌳

Texas Hill Country

Distant views of the rolling Balcones Escarpment and the transition to the Central Texas plateau.

🏙️

Fort Worth Skyline

AT&T Stadium

The massive home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington can often be spotted on the left.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff to capture the Harbor Bridge and the USS Lexington in the bay.
