DFW → OMA
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Eppley Airfield (Omaha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is slightly preferred for its aerial perspective of the Missouri River valley during the descent and views of the rolling Flint Hills in Kansas.
Downtown Dallas
Visuals of the Reunion Tower and the Dallas skyline depending on the departure runway.
Flint Hills
The beautiful, undulating tallgrass prairie ecosystem of eastern Kansas.
Wichita Landscapes
Views of the 'Air Capital of the World' and its numerous general aviation airfields.
Missouri River
The winding path of the 'Big Muddy' as it snakingly approaches the Omaha area.
Council Bluffs
Aerial views of the Iowa side of the river and the historic Loess Hills during final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the eastern plains. During the approach to Omaha, the aircraft often flies parallel to the Missouri River; the right side offers the best look at the river's unique oxbows and the steep bluffs on the Iowa side.
DFW Metroplex
Expansive views of the Dallas and Fort Worth urban sprawl immediately after takeoff.
Lake Texoma
A massive reservoir on the Red River marking the border between Texas and Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City Skyline
Clear views of the Devon Tower and the downtown district of Oklahoma's capital.
Great Plains Patterns
Distinctive circular irrigation patterns creating a green and gold patchwork across Kansas.
Western Horizon
Spectacular unobstructed views of the sunset on late afternoon or evening flights.
On the left side, sit behind the wing for the best view of the ground. During the summer, this side can get quite warm from the afternoon sun, so keep the shade down until you reach cruising altitude. Watch for the Wichita metro area about halfway through the flight.
