DFW → PNS
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Pensacola Regional Airport (Pensacola)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the Southern pine forests and river systems, the Right Side is the clear winner for its spectacular approach over Mobile Bay and the white-sand beaches of the Gulf Coast.
