DFW → JAX
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Jacksonville International Airport (Jacksonville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the approach into Jacksonville, including the Okefenokee Swamp and the winding St. Johns River, while also offering glimpses of the Arlington sports district upon departure.
Arlington Stadiums
Views of AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field if the flight path departs DFW toward the south.
Piney Woods
The dense evergreen canopy of the Sabine National Forest along the Texas and Louisiana state line.
Okefenokee Swamp
The dark, prehistoric waters and marshes of the massive swamp located on the Georgia-Florida border.
St. Johns River
Excellent views of the wide, blue St. Johns River as the aircraft descends into the Jacksonville area.
Atlantic Horizon
Distant glimpses of the Atlantic coastline and the Florida beaches during the final approach maneuvers.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy sunset colors reflecting off the Gulf and Florida wetlands. Pay close attention about 20 minutes before landing to spot the Okefenokee Swamp. For the best views of the St. Johns River, choose a window seat behind the wing to keep the sightline clear.
DFW Metroplex
Expansive views of the Dallas-Fort Worth urban sprawl and northern suburbs immediately after takeoff.
Mississippi River Crossing
A clear view of the winding Mississippi River and its distinctive oxbow lakes near the Louisiana border.
Central Georgia Plains
Vast stretches of rolling agricultural land and dense forests throughout the heart of the Deep South.
JAX Terminal View
A direct look at the Jacksonville International Airport infrastructure during the final taxiing phase.
Opt for the left side on morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. This side is better for observing the serpentine patterns of the Mississippi River and the geometric grid of Dallas's northern suburbs. Look for the Red River shortly after crossing into Louisiana.
