DFW → LBB
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (Lubbock)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Rolling Plains to the High Plains, including the striking Caprock Escarpment and better lighting conditions on afternoon flights.

DFW Airport Complex
An expansive aerial view of the massive terminal clusters and runway systems immediately after takeoff.
Caprock Escarpment
The dramatic geological cliff-line where the flat Llano Estacado plateau rises sharply from the lower plains.
White River Lake
A secluded reservoir tucked into the rugged 'breaks' of the Caprock, offering striking color contrasts.
Texas Tech University
The distinctive red-tiled roofs of the Spanish Renaissance-style campus are highly visible during the descent into Lubbock.
Downtown Lubbock
A clear view of the 'Hub City' skyline and the Buddy Holly Center area during the final approach phase.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight on the right side to see the shadows emphasize the texture of the Caprock Escarpment. During the spring, look for greening wheat fields that create a vibrant patchwork quilt effect across the landscape.

Clear views of the downtown skyscrapers and the historic Stockyards district shortly after departure from DFW.
Eagle Mountain Lake
A massive reservoir providing a scenic blue contrast to the dense North Texas suburban landscape.
West Texas Wind Farms
Dense clusters of thousands of wind turbines spinning across the horizons near the Snyder and Roscoe areas.
Irrigation Circles
The iconic geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation systems that define the agricultural identity of the South Plains.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you; however, be prepared for intense Texas heat and glare on afternoon flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the Brazos River winding through the brush country mid-flight.
