DEN → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking distant views of the Front Range Rockies upon departure and superior views of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the airport layout during landing.
Pikes Peak
Visible to the southwest shortly after takeoff from Denver on clear days, standing as the southernmost high peak of the Front Range.
Palo Duro Canyon
Look for the deep reddish hues and jagged terrain of the 'Grand Canyon of Texas' when passing near Amarillo.
Texas Motor Speedway
A clear bird's-eye view of the massive racing oval during the final descent into the airport from the north.
Fort Worth Skyline
Excellent views of downtown Fort Worth and the historic Stockyards district to the west of the flight path.
DFW Mega-Terminal
A complete view of the massive seven-runway layout and the five sprawling terminals during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Texas horizon. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff for the Rockies and watch for Lake Lewisville just before landing.
Agricultural Patchwork
Intricate patterns of circular center-pivot irrigation systems across the High Plains of Eastern Colorado and Kansas.
Oklahoma City
Distant views of the Oklahoma state capital and the iconic Devon Tower skyline as the flight heads south.
Lake Ray Roberts
A large, scenic reservoir in North Texas providing a sharp blue contrast to the surrounding prairies.
Plano and Frisco
Expansive views of the rapidly growing, densely planned northern suburbs of the DFW Metroplex during descent.
Sit on this side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the vast Great Plains. Look for the distinct transition from the dry Colorado plateau to the greener, more humid Texas prairies as you cross the Red River.
