FSD → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Joe Foss Field Airport (Sioux Falls) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the mid-continent's urban evolution, featuring the Oklahoma City skyline and the distinct landscape of the Arbuckle Mountains before descending into the Fort Worth side of the metroplex.
Oklahoma Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines visible across the flat plains of northern and central Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City Skyline
Clear views of the Devon Tower and the downtown skyline roughly 75 minutes into the flight.
Arbuckle Mountains
A unique geological formation in southern Oklahoma featuring ancient uplifted limestone ridges.
Lake Murray
A jewel-toned lake in southern Oklahoma known for its clear water and state park surroundings.
Fort Worth Landmarks
Detailed views of the Stockyards and downtown Fort Worth as the plane aligns for its southern approach into DFW.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Watch for the sharp transition from the green Oklahoma hills to the drier Texas landscape.
Sioux Falls Aerials
Excellent views of the Big Sioux River and the city's industrial and residential grid immediately after takeoff.
Missouri River Meanders
Watch the wide, muddy Missouri River carve the border between Nebraska and Iowa as you head south.
Nebraska Farmland
A mesmerizing patchwork of circular irrigation patterns and rectangular crop fields in shades of gold and green.
Lake Texoma
One of the largest reservoirs in the United States, spanning the border of Oklahoma and Texas.
Dallas Skyline
On the final approach into DFW, the distant but distinct Dallas skyline and Reunion Tower are visible to the southeast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the plains, and keep your camera ready for the Missouri River crossing roughly 15-20 minutes after departure.
