DFW → BOG
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most scenic diversity, featuring the turquoise reefs of the Yucatan Peninsula and a spectacular perspective of the high Andes peaks during the descent into the Sabana de Bogota.
Dallas Metroplex
Aerial views of the Trinity River and the expanding suburban landscape of North Texas immediately after takeoff.
Yucatan Peninsula
Vibrant turquoise waters and white sand beaches near Cancun and Cozumel as the flight crosses into the Caribbean.
Caribbean Reefs
Shallow water formations and coral reefs visible through the clear tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Eastern Cordillera
Dramatic, jagged peaks of the Colombian Andes that rise sharply to meet the high-altitude plateau of Bogota.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight. This side is superior for spotting the Mexican coastline and offers the best angle for seeing the city of Bogota nestled against the mountains during the final approach.
Texas Gulf Coast
The intricate waterways and industrial shipping lanes near Galveston and the Houston Ship Channel.
Central American Coast
Distal views of the lush, green coastlines of Nicaragua and Costa Rica across the Caribbean horizon.
Magdalena River
The massive, winding brown ribbon of Colombia's primary river snaking through the tropical valley floor.
Central Cordillera
Views of distant volcanic peaks and the vast cloud forests that carpet the central Colombian mountain range.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific horizon as you cross Central America. It provides a better view of the Magdalena Valley, though the glare can be intense during the midday hours.
