Our Recommendation
7.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

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.
