DFW → ROW
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Roswell International Air Center Airport (Roswell)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Caprock Escarpment, the massive wind energy clusters of West Texas, and the iconic aircraft boneyard upon arrival at Roswell.
The Caprock Escarpment
A dramatic 200-foot rise where the rolling plains of Texas meet the flat High Plains (Llano Estacado).
Sweetwater Wind Farms
One of the world's largest concentrations of wind turbines, appearing like white dots across the mesas.
Roswell Aircraft Boneyard
Hundreds of retired commercial airliners from major global carriers parked in long, precise rows at ROW.
Bitter Lake Refuge
A rare wetland oasis and series of sinkholes located just northeast of Roswell near the approach path.
The right side is essential for seeing the aircraft storage facility (boneyard) on final descent. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red-hued cliffs of the Caprock without glare.
Fort Worth Skyline
Clear views of downtown Fort Worth and the historic Stockyards district shortly after departure.
Permian Basin Infrastructure
An extensive grid of oil rigs and access roads showcasing the heart of the American energy industry.
Pecos River
The winding path of the Pecos River carving through the arid landscape of the New Mexico border.
Sit toward the back of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction when looking down at the oil field grids. Evening flights provide spectacular reflections off the Pecos River as the sun sets in the west.
