DFW → SLP
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Ponciano Arriaga International Airport (San Luis Potosi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an excellent view of the transition from the lush Texas Hill Country into the stark beauty of the Mexican Altiplano.
Fort Worth
Clear views of the City of Cowboys and Culture including the historic Stockyards.
Texas Hill Country
The picturesque landscape of rolling hills and rivers south of the DFW metroplex.
Chihuahuan Desert
The vast and colorful arid landscape of northern Mexico featuring unique geological formations.
Mexican Altiplano
The high-altitude plateau characterized by dry lake beds and distant volcanic peaks.
San Luis Potosi
A comprehensive view of the urban sprawl and historic architecture during the approach to SLP airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the golden hour over the desert. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct colonial grid of the city center and the industrial zones bordering the airport.
Dallas Skyline
Great views of the downtown skyscrapers and the Trinity River basin shortly after takeoff.
Rio Grande
Observe the natural border between the United States and Mexico winding through the scrubland.
Sierra Madre Oriental
Watch the dramatic vertical ridges of the mountain range as you fly south toward the destination.
Coastal Influence
Notice the formation of clouds and weather patterns moving in from the Gulf of Mexico.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the mountains, but be prepared for intense sunlight. Look for the dense forest coverage as you pass over the state of Nuevo Leon.
