HOU → TUL
Which side of the plane to sit from William P Hobby Airport (Houston) to Tulsa International Airport (Tulsa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the lush East Texas Piney Woods and the vast, sprawling shoreline of Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma's largest lake.
Sam Houston National Forest
A vast expanse of emerald-green loblolly pines stretching across the East Texas landscape.
Lake Livingston
One of the largest reservoirs in Texas, prominently visible on the Trinity River early in the flight.
Lake Eufaula
Oklahoma's largest lake, known for its distinct winding shoreline and numerous arms and inlets.
Arkansas River
The major waterway of the region, which the flight path crosses just before landing in Tulsa.
Book an F seat for the best water views. During sunset flights, the sun reflects beautifully off Lake Eufaula, creating a golden landscape. This side is also best for spotting the San Jacinto Monument in the distance upon departure.
Houston Skyline
A striking view of the downtown skyscrapers and the Texas Medical Center shortly after departing Hobby Airport.
Lake Conroe
A large recreational reservoir north of Houston surrounded by dense forest and luxury waterfront homes.
Arbuckle Mountains
Ancient geological formations in Southern Oklahoma featuring unique limestone folds and ridges.
Tulsa Cityscape
Excellent views of the Art Deco architecture in downtown Tulsa as the plane makes its final approach from the south.
Select a window seat on the left (A seat) for the best views of the Houston skyline during takeoff. For afternoon flights, this side remains shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
