Great Smoky Mountains
Dramatic views of the highest peaks in the Appalachian range during the first 30 minutes of flight.
Nashville Skyline
Clear views of 'Music City' and the Cumberland River as the flight path passes just to the north.
Mississippi River
The iconic crossing near Memphis, featuring the expansive river floodplains and bridges.
The Ozarks
The rugged, dissected plateau of northern Arkansas offering beautiful textures and colors in autumn.
DFW Airport Complex
A spectacular top-down view of one of the world's largest airport layouts during the northern arrival route.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it avoids the harsh southern sun. Watch closely about 45-60 minutes into the flight for Nashville. If the aircraft approaches DFW from the north, you will get an unparalleled view of the entire airport infrastructure before touchdown. Seasonal tip: The Ozarks are most stunning on this side during late October foliage.

Southern Appalachians
Aerial views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Nantahala National Forest shortly after departure.
Tennessee River
Watch the wide bends of the Tennessee River as it snakes through northern Alabama and Tennessee.
Ouachita National Forest
Dense forest canopies and unique east-west mountain ridges in western Arkansas.
Dallas Skyline
Depending on the landing pattern, the skyscrapers of downtown Dallas may appear to the south during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better visibility. As you approach the DFW metroplex, keep an eye out for Lake Ray Hubbard and the sprawl of the eastern suburbs. This side is also better for spotting the Ouachita Mountains during the final third of the flight.
