DFW → GSP
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (Greenville)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most scenic variety, including the Tennessee River Valley, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, and the dramatic Blue Ridge Escarpment during the descent into South Carolina.
North Dallas Suburbs
Aerial views of the massive suburban sprawl and Lake Ray Hubbard shortly after departure.
Arkansas River Valley
The winding river and the outskirts of Little Rock visible as you cross into the mid-south.
Huntsville & Tennessee River
Clear views of the Tennessee River winding through Alabama and the distinct skyline of Huntsville.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Stunning views of the Appalachian mountain range rising sharply from the Piedmont as you approach GSP.
For the best experience, choose the left side on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic transition from flat plains to the Blue Ridge foothills.
East Texas Piney Woods
The transition from the Dallas prairie into the dense, vast forests of East Texas and Louisiana.
Mississippi River
The massive, meandering 'Mighty Mississippi' and its complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands.
Atlanta Outskirts
On more southerly flight paths, you can see the distant skyscrapers of Atlanta and the busy surrounding metro area.
Lake Lanier
A popular recreational lake in North Georgia known for its irregular shoreline and many islands.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic-facing Piedmont. If the flight path dips south, you may get a distant but impressive view of the massive Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport complex.
