DFW → SHV
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Shreveport Regional Airport (Shreveport)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior as it offers a more frequent and direct view of the iconic Dallas skyline and the Trinity River during the initial climb from DFW.

Downtown Dallas Skyline
Unobstructed views of the Bank of America Plaza and Reunion Tower if departing on a southerly runway.
Fair Park
The historic site of the State Fair of Texas and the Cotton Bowl stadium.
East Texas Piney Woods
The transition from prairie to dense loblolly pine forests as you move eastward.
Cedar Creek Reservoir
A large, sprawling lake south of the flight path often reflecting the morning sun.
Interstate 20 Corridor
The main artery connecting Dallas to Shreveport, cutting through the forest below.
Red River
The winding, silt-heavy river that marks the geographic heart of the Shreveport-Bossier area.
The right side is best for morning flights when the sun is higher in the sky to the south. If the flight departs to the south from DFW, the view of the Dallas skyline is unparalleled. Since this is a very short flight (often under 40 minutes in the air), window seats are highly recommended as the aircraft stays at a lower altitude, making ground features much clearer.

Aerial view of the dense residential grids of Plano and Richardson shortly after departure.
Lake Ray Hubbard
A massive reservoir featuring the long bridge of Interstate 30 stretching across the water.
Lake Tawakoni
One of the largest lakes in Texas, known for its distinct multi-armed shape.
Caddo Lake
Visible as you approach the border, this lake is famous for its hauntingly beautiful cypress trees.
Cross Lake
The primary water source for Shreveport, visible directly on the northern approach to the airport.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is also excellent for viewing the expansive suburban sprawl of the DFW Metroplex during a northerly departure. Keep an eye out for the intricate patterns of the East Texas lake systems which dominate the landscape mid-flight.
