IAH → OMA
Which side of the plane to sit from George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (Houston) to Eppley Airfield (Omaha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred primarily for the approach into Omaha, where passengers often get a sweeping view of the Missouri River and the downtown skyline, alongside lush East Texas forest views shortly after takeoff.

Sam Houston National Forest
Immediately north of Houston, look down at the dense piney woods that dominate the East Texas landscape.
Arkansas River
A major water artery crossing through Oklahoma, providing a silver ribbon of contrast to the green plains.
Omaha Skyline
During the final descent into Eppley Airfield, the right side typically offers the best view of the Missouri River and downtown Omaha.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to catch the sunrise. During the descent into OMA, stay alert as the plane follows the Missouri River valley; the transition from rural bluffs to the urban center is most dramatic from this side.
