IAH → LIT
Which side of the plane to sit from George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (Houston) to Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is slightly preferred for this northbound route as it offers a better perspective of the rolling Ouachita Mountains and the distinctive silhouette of Pinnacle Mountain during the descent into Little Rock.

Sam Houston National Forest
Dense pine forests and green canopies visible shortly after departing the Houston metro area.
Lake Conroe
A large recreational reservoir situated just west of the flight path north of Houston.
Ouachita Mountains
The southern edge of these ancient mountains provides textured ridge views as you cross into Arkansas.
Pinnacle Mountain
A sharp, iconic peak within its namesake state park, visible during the final approach into LIT.
Piney Woods
Continuous vistas of the East Texas Piney Woods ecoregion, known for its deep green hues.
Sit on the left to avoid direct glare during morning flights heading north. During the final descent, look for the sharp profile of Pinnacle Mountain to the northwest of the city. Autumn flights are particularly scenic on this side as the hardwoods in the Ouachita foothills change color.
