One of the largest reservoirs in the United States, visible as you cross into Oklahoma.
Tulsa Metro
Distinguishable views of the Arkansas River and Tulsa's urban center in eastern Oklahoma.

Twin Cities Approach
Depending on the wind, you may see the St. Paul skyline and the US Bank Stadium on final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. It provides the best perspective of the Mississippi River, which is the highlight of the descent. For the best Dallas views, look out within the first 10 minutes of flight.
