Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Love Field (Dallas) to Branson Airport (Branson)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an iconic view of the Dallas skyline shortly after takeoff and the most scenic vantage point for Table Rock Lake and the Branson entertainment district during the final approach.
Downtown Dallas
Spectacular views of Reunion Tower and the iconic Bank of America Plaza skyscraper immediately following departure.
Lake Ray Hubbard
A large reservoir east of Dallas that provides a beautiful blue contrast to the urban landscape below.
Buffalo National River
Catch a glimpse of the first national river in the US, known for its massive limestone bluffs and turquoise water.
Table Rock Lake
The primary scenic highlight of the arrival, offering views of marinas, the Table Rock Dam, and the White River.
Branson Entertainment Strip
Visible on the descent, look for the giant Ferris wheel and the diverse cluster of theaters along Highway 76.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the limestone bluffs along the Buffalo River and Table Rock Lake. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the Branson landmarks.
North Dallas Suburbs
Bird's-eye view of the dense suburban sprawl and the intricate highway interchanges of the DFW Metroplex.
Lake Eufaula
Visible to the north as the flight crosses into Oklahoma, featuring a rugged, indented shoreline.
Ozark National Forest
A vast expanse of rolling green hills and deep valleys as you enter the northern Arkansas region.
Bull Shoals Lake
The winding blue waters of this massive reservoir appear just as the aircraft begins its descent into the Branson area.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for observing the dense forest canopy of the Ozark Mountains, which is particularly vibrant during the peak autumn foliage season in late October.
