Our Recommendation
7.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
✈️

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.
