Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to William P Hobby Airport (Houston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior for this route as it provides a spectacular panorama of the Rocky Mountains immediately after takeoff and a high probability of viewing the iconic Houston skyline and NRG Stadium during the descent into Hobby Airport.

A breathtaking view of the snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks immediately after departing Denver.

The rugged, reddish terrain of the Texas Panhandle's escarpment as you transition from the plains.
Downtown Houston
Dramatic views of the tall skyscrapers including the JPMorgan Chase Tower and Wells Fargo Plaza.
NRG Stadium
The massive home of the Houston Texans is a major landmark usually visible just before touching down at HOU.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best photography, book a mid-to-late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Front Range from the west. During landing, the right side usually provides a closer look at the downtown core and major sports complexes.
