Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Ohio River

Immediate views of the sweeping river bends separating Kentucky and Ohio after takeoff.

🛶

Land Between the Lakes

A glimpse of the massive Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley on the KY/TN border.

🚢

Mississippi River

Crossing the widest point of the continental US's most famous river near the Tennessee-Arkansas border.

🏙️

Dallas Skyline

On the base leg of the approach, enjoy a direct view of Reunion Tower and the Bank of America Plaza.

🏟️

Cotton Bowl & Fair Park

A clear view of the historic stadium and the Art Deco architecture of the Texas State Fairgrounds.

Book a window seat forward of the wing on the left side (Seat A) for sunset views on evening flights. This side provides the best angle for the Dallas skyline if the aircraft approaches from the east. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Mississippi River crossing.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
✈️

CVG Global Hub

An aerial view of the massive DHL and Amazon Air cargo logistics centers during climb-out.

⛰️

Ozark Foothills

The rolling, forested terrain of northern Arkansas provides beautiful textures, especially in autumn.

🏙️

Little Rock Skyline

Views of the Arkansas state capital and the winding Arkansas River valley mid-flight.

🌅

Lake Texoma

On clear days, one of the largest reservoirs in the US is visible on the horizon to the north.

🚤

Grapevine Lake

Just before landing, the right side often looks down on the marinas and parks of Grapevine Lake.

Sit on the right side (Seat F) for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is ideal for spotting the Little Rock area and the expansive logistics hubs at CVG. During the final approach, look for the massive DFW terminal complex as you descend.
