DFW Airport Complex
An incredible overhead view of one of the world's largest airport hubs during the initial climb.
North Texas Lakes
A scenic chain of water bodies including Grapevine Lake, Lewisville Lake, and Ray Roberts Lake.
Denton Cityscape
The dense footprint of the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University campuses.
Lake Arrowhead
A key reservoir just southeast of Wichita Falls that signals the start of the final descent.
Red River Valley
Distant views toward the north of the winding Red River which forms the border with Oklahoma.
The right side is ideal for seeing the dense lake system of North Texas. Sit here during morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. Because the flight is very short, often less than 40 minutes at cruise, keep your window shade up from takeoff to landing to see the rapid transition from metroplex to rural plains.

Fort Worth Skyline
A clear view of the 'City of Cowboys and Culture' and the historic Stockyards district shortly after departure.
Eagle Mountain Lake
A sprawling reservoir known for its jagged shoreline and upscale waterfront properties.
LBJ National Grasslands
Expansive patches of protected North Texas prairie and woodlands offering a break from suburban sprawl.
Rolling Farmlands
Geometric patterns of agricultural fields typical of the Cross Timbers and Prairies ecoregion.
Choose this side for views of Fort Worth and the more rural stretches of Wise and Montague counties. For late afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, reducing window glare and providing better lighting for photography of the horizon.
