Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes transitioning from the rolling Texas Hill Country to the dramatic high-altitude desert and volcanic topography of the Mexican Plateau.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏢

Fort Worth District

Views of the Stockyards and the cultural district of Fort Worth immediately after takeoff from DFW.

🌊

Rio Grande Crossing

The winding river border marking the transition between Texas and the state of Coahuila, Mexico.

🌵

Chihuahuan Desert

Expansive vistas of arid plateaus, dry lake beds, and isolated mountain ranges in Northern Mexico.

⛰️

Sierra de Guanajuato

Dramatic approach over the rugged peaks surrounding the historic mining region near the destination.

🌅

Plateau Sunsets

Stunning golden hour light reflecting off the high-altitude desert plains on evening flights.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mexican desert. Look for the distinct change in soil color and terrain texture as you cross the US-Mexico border near Eagle Pass or Laredo. During the final approach into BJX, this side often provides the most panoramic views of the Guanajuato highlands.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Dallas Skyline

Clear views of the Reunion Tower and downtown Dallas skyscrapers during southward departures.

🏔️

Sierra Madre Oriental

The eastern edge of the Mexican highlands featuring jagged limestone ridges and deep green valleys.

🌆

San Luis Potosí

The sprawling urban grid of this historic colonial city as you begin the southern descent.

🏭

Bajío Industrial Corridor

Aerial view of the rapidly growing automotive manufacturing hubs lining the valley floor.

Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides a better angle for observing the dense mountain ridges of the Sierra Madre as the plane skirts their western edge.
