DFW → SEA
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Seattle Tacoma International Airport (Seattle)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning mountain views, the Right Side provides the most iconic perspective of the Grand Tetons and a legendary close-up encounter with Mount Rainier during the descent.
Search flights from DFW to SEA
Wind River Range
Glaciated granite peaks and high-alpine lakes throughout the Wyoming wilderness.
Grand Teton National Park
Spectacular views of the jagged Teton Range rising sharply from the valley floor.
Snake River Plain
Watch the river wind through the volcanic landscapes and agricultural hubs of Idaho.
Mount Rainier
The flight's crown jewel; a massive, ice-covered volcano that appears remarkably close during descent.
Seattle Skyline
On north-flow landings, get a bird's-eye view of downtown, the Space Needle, and Elliott Bay.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of Mount Rainier isn't obstructed by the engine. Morning flights are ideal for this side, as the sun will be in the east, perfectly illuminating the Tetons and the Cascades for photography. If landing to the north, this side offers the best city views.

Texas Panhandle
Vast stretches of geometric crop circles and the arid landscape of the Llano Estacado.
San Juan Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks in Southwestern Colorado.
Utah Canyonlands
Intricate red rock formations and deep river-carved canyons visible from cruising altitude.
Mount St. Helens
A clear view of the famous horseshoe-shaped crater and the blast zone on the approach to SEA.
The left side is superior for sunset views on evening flights as the sun dips over the Great Basin. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens. Avoid mid-day flights if you want to prevent harsh glare from the southern sun.
