Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer expansive desert views, the right side is generally superior for its perspective of the Fort Worth skyline on departure and the iconic hilltop landmarks of Torreon during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🤠

Fort Worth Skyline

Clear views of the 'Cowtown' high-rises and the historic Stockyards district during ascent.

🏜️

Edwards Plateau

The limestone karst topography of Central Texas, featuring rugged canyons and plateaus.

💧

Amistad Reservoir

A massive, bright blue body of water located on the US-Mexico border near Del Rio.

🏔️

Bolsón de Mapimí

The expansive endorheic basin known for its stark beauty and the mysterious 'Zone of Silence'.

⛪

Cristo de las Noas

The massive statue of Christ overlooking Torreon, usually visible on the right during the final turn.

🏗️

Torreón Urban Grid

A bird's-eye view of the Comarca Lagunera's industrial and residential heart during landing.

The right side is best for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mexican plateau. Keep your camera ready during the descent into TRC, as the plane often banks to reveal the Cristo de las Noas statue on the hillside.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Dallas Skyline

Vibrant views of downtown Dallas and the Reunion Tower shortly after takeoff from DFW.

🛣️

I-35 Corridor

The main artery of Texas transit visible as the plane tracks south toward the border.

🌊

Rio Grande

The winding river border separating Eagle Pass, Texas, from Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

⛰️

Sierra de la Gloria

The rugged eastern mountain ridges of Coahuila rising from the desert floor.

🌵

Chihuahuan Desert

The vast, arid landscapes of northern Mexico characterized by unique brush and rock formations.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side is ideal for spotting the distinct line where the Texas brush country transforms into the Mexican high desert.
