Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer similar views of the Southern United States, the Right Side is preferred for its superior perspective of the Dallas skyline during takeoff and the stunning coastal marshes and winding rivers during the approach into Savannah.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏢

Downtown Dallas

Spectacular views of the Reunion Tower and the Dallas CBD skyscrapers if departing on a southbound runway.

🌲

Piney Woods

The scenic transition from the Texas blackland prairies into the dense, deep forests of East Texas and Louisiana.

🏛️

Jackson, Mississippi

The urban layout of Mississippi's capital city, including the historic gold-domed State Capitol building.

🌾

Lowcountry Marshes

As the plane descends into SAV, enjoy the intricate patterns of the salt marshes and tidal creeks that define the Georgia coast.

🚢

Savannah River

Views of the industrial port and massive container ships navigating the river toward one of the busiest ports in the US.

Choose the right side for the 'money shot' during arrival. The final approach into Savannah often involves a turn that showcases the vast coastal wetlands. Morning flights on this side may experience some glare, so bring sunglasses.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏘️

North Dallas Suburbs

Bird's-eye view of the sprawling residential grids and luxury golf courses of Frisco and Plano shortly after departure.

🌊

Mississippi River Bends

Dramatic views of the massive oxbow lakes and winding path of the Mississippi River near the Louisiana-Mississippi border.

🏗️

Birmingham Skyline

Visuals of Alabama's largest city and the distinctive ridgelines of the southern Appalachian foothills.

🌲

Talladega National Forest

A vast expanse of dense green canopy stretching across eastern Alabama into Georgia.

The left side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing glare for photography. Keep an eye out for the Mississippi River roughly 50-60 minutes into the flight.
