Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior perspective of the Arlington entertainment district shortly after takeoff and provides an iconic view of the Texas A&M University campus and Kyle Field during the final approach into College Station.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏟️

Arlington Sports Complex

Get a bird's-eye view of AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field located between Dallas and Fort Worth shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Fort Worth Skyline

The central business district of Fort Worth is visible to the west, providing a contrast to the Dallas skyline on the opposite side.

🌊

Joe Pool Lake

A prominent reservoir south of the metroplex, often used as a waypoint for flights transitioning toward Central Texas.

🎓

Texas A&M Campus

The massive sprawl of the university is unmistakable, featuring a mix of historic and modern architecture.

🏈

Kyle Field

One of the most impressive views on the route, the giant stadium stands out prominently as you descend into CLL.

The right side is essential for Aggie fans; sit here to see Kyle Field and the A&M campus during the descent. For sunset flights, this side offers dramatic views of the Texas horizon, though glare can be intense. Watch for the transition from the dense DFW suburbs to the more wooded areas of the Brazos Valley.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Dallas Skyline

A striking view of the downtown Dallas skyscrapers, including Reunion Tower, visible shortly after departure if the plane tracks south.

🌊

Richland Chambers Reservoir

One of the largest lakes in Texas, appearing as a massive blue expanse amidst the green landscape of the central plains.

🌾

Texas Prairies

Expansive views of the Blackland Prairies, characterized by geometric patterns of agricultural fields and rural homesteads.

🛶

Trinity River

The winding silver thread of the Trinity River snaking through the North Texas terrain as you head south.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and enjoy clear views of the Dallas skyline. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of Texas farmland which are particularly vibrant in the spring.
