Rio Grande Border
Aerial views of the winding river that forms the international boundary with Mexico.
Monahans Sandhills
Stark white sand dunes that appear like a mini-Sahara in the middle of the West Texas scrub.
Permian Basin Oil Fields
A dense network of service roads and oil pads around Midland-Odessa, particularly striking at night with gas flares.
Arlington Stadiums
Clear views of AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field as the flight enters the DFW metroplex.
Dallas Skyline
A spectacular close-up of downtown Dallas, including Reunion Tower, during the final moments of landing.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into DAL. For the best experience, book an evening flight; the Permian Basin glows with industrial lights, and the Dallas skyline is beautifully illuminated. Be ready with your camera about 10 minutes before touchdown to catch the Trinity River and downtown skyscrapers.

Hueco Tanks
Prehistoric rock formations and sacred sites visible shortly after departing El Paso.
Guadalupe Peak
The highest point in Texas is often visible to the north, featuring the prominent El Capitan cliff face.
The Llano Estacado
Massive, perfectly square agricultural grids and cotton fields typical of the Texas Panhandle edge.
Fort Worth Skyline
On the descent, enjoy views of downtown Fort Worth and the historic Stockyards district.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun and get clear, illuminated views of the Guadalupe Mountains. This side is also excellent for spotting the 'Caprock Escarpment' where the high plains drop off into the rolling hills of central Texas.
