Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Corpus Christi International Airport (Corpus Christi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the major urban centers of Texas, including the skylines of Austin and San Antonio, plus the scenic rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country.
Austin Skyline
A spectacular view of the rapidly growing capital city skyline, Lady Bird Lake, and the University of Texas campus.
Texas Hill Country
The transition from flat prairie to rugged, rolling limestone hills is clearly visible on the western horizon south of Austin.
San Antonio Metro
Look for the Tower of the Americas and the sprawling urban layout of San Antonio as you pass to the east of the city.
Choke Canyon Reservoir
A prominent water landmark in the arid brush country of South Texas, serving as a primary waypoint for the descent.
Coastal Bend Prairies
The landscape transforms into flat, geometric farmlands and ranch tracts as you approach the coast.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Hill Country. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Austin skyline, which is often passed directly to the west.
Richland Chambers Reservoir
A massive Y-shaped lake located southeast of Corsicana, providing a brilliant blue contrast to the Texas plains early in the flight.
Bryan-College Station
Distant views of Kyle Field and the Texas A&M University campus can be spotted on clear days to the east.
Corpus Christi Bay
As the plane descends, the vast expanse of the bay and the barrier islands come into view, showcasing the Texas coastline.
Port of Corpus Christi
Observe the industrial hub and the iconic Harbor Bridge as the flight prepares for landing at CRP.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is also superior for viewing the Gulf of Mexico's coastline and the naval air station facilities during the final approach pattern.
