DFW → MYR
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more diverse view of the transition from the Texas plains to the rolling hills of the Southern Appalachian foothills and the large reservoirs of South Carolina.
North Dallas Metroplex
Aerial views of the sprawling North Dallas suburbs and the complex highway interchanges of the DFW area.
Mississippi River Crossing
A wide-angle view of the massive river as it snakes through the fertile basin between Arkansas and Mississippi.
Appalachian Edge
The northern horizon features the beginning of the Appalachian foothills in Alabama and Georgia.
Lake Murray
A prominent view of the 50,000-acre reservoir in South Carolina, known for its jagged shoreline.
Columbia Skyline
The South Carolina state capital and the Congaree River are often visible during the initial descent phase.
For the best visibility without sun glare, the left side is ideal for morning flights as the sun remains to the south. During the descent into MYR, watch for the shift from thick forests to the developed Grand Strand area. Keep an eye out for the distinctive red clay soil of the Georgia and Carolina Piedmont regions.
East Texas Piney Woods
Dense canopies of evergreen forests stretching across the Texas-Louisiana border.
Mississippi Delta
Geometric patterns of vast agricultural fields and irrigation canals in the alluvial plain.
Waccamaw Refuge
The dark, winding waters of the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge swamplands near the coast.
Intracoastal Waterway
The man-made canal that separates the mainland from the barrier islands of Myrtle Beach.
Grand Strand Shoreline
Panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the high-rise hotels along the beach if the plane loops for a southward landing.
The right side is the 'sunny side' for most of the day on this eastbound route, so bring sunglasses. However, it offers the most iconic 'beach arrival' experience. If the flight approach involves a turn over the Atlantic, the right side will have the best views of the coastline and the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel just before touchdown.
