DFW → SAV
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (Savannah)?
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.
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.
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.
