Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Tallahassee Regional Airport (Tallahassee)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the Gulf of Mexico's coastline and the lush emerald landscape of the Florida Panhandle during the descent into Tallahassee.
East Texas Piney Woods
The dense canopy of the sprawling evergreen forests that define the border between Texas and Louisiana.
Lower Mississippi River
The massive, industrial artery of the South, showing heavy barge traffic and the wide floodplains of Louisiana.
Mobile Bay
In the distance, the deep waters of Mobile Bay and the industrial port infrastructure of Alabama's coast.
The Emerald Coast
Stunning glimpses of the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of the Florida Panhandle as the plane begins its descent.
Apalachicola National Forest
A vast expanse of protected wetlands and pine forests that surround Tallahassee, appearing as a sea of deep green.
The right side is the prime choice for coastal views. Choose an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Gulf of Mexico. For the best photography of the Florida coastline, aim for a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the green forests and the blue water.
DFW Metroplex
Aerial views of the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth urban area and the high-rises of downtown Dallas shortly after takeoff.
Lake Tawakoni
A massive reservoir in East Texas known for its irregular shoreline and surrounding state parks.
Mississippi River Bends
Dramatic oxbow lakes and winding river paths near the Vicksburg area as you cross into Mississippi.
Montgomery, Alabama
The capital city of Alabama and its historic district are often visible from the northern flight path.
FSU Campus
Depending on the landing pattern, the red-brick campus of Florida State University is visible just north of the airport.
Sit on the left if you prefer cityscapes and inland geographic features. To avoid the direct glare of the sun on this eastbound route, morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft.
