DFW → XNA
Which side of the plane to sit from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth) to Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (Bentonville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the sprawling North Dallas suburbs, Lake Texoma, and the picturesque Beaver Lake and Ozark Mountains during the final approach into Northwest Arkansas.
North Dallas Suburbs
Aerial view of the massive development in Frisco, Plano, and McKinney.
Lake Texoma
The massive border lake between Texas and Oklahoma with its distinctive red-sand shores.
Fayetteville & UofA
View of the University of Arkansas campus and Razorback Stadium during descent.
Beaver Lake
The stunning, winding blue waters of the White River reservoir near the destination.
The right side is ideal for capturing the Arkansas landscape. During the descent, watch for the University of Arkansas campus and the distinctive shoreline of Beaver Lake. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the dense forest canopy of the Ozarks, which is particularly vibrant during the autumn foliage season.
Grapevine Lake
Immediate view of the reservoir and dam north of DFW Airport after takeoff.
Lake Ray Roberts
A major recreation lake north of Denton seen during the initial climb.
Arbuckle Mountains
Ancient, folded limestone ridges in Southern Oklahoma visible mid-flight.
Ozark National Forest
Expansive views of the rolling green plateaus and deep valleys of Western Arkansas.
Opt for a window seat on the left to see the lake district of North Texas shortly after departure. This side provides a clear view of the unique geological formations of the Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma during the mid-flight segment. Choose a morning flight to avoid the glare from the western sun.
