Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the sprawling lake systems in Oklahoma and a clear perspective of the Fort Worth skyline and Texas Motor Speedway during the descent into DFW.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
💎

Grand Lake o' the Cherokees

The winding, forested shoreline of one of Oklahoma's premier recreational lakes shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Lake Texoma

The massive water border between Oklahoma and Texas, easily identifiable by its distinct shape and red-sand islands.

🏎️

Texas Motor Speedway

The massive oval racing complex is a landmark feature located just northwest of the DFW airport perimeter.

🏙️

Fort Worth Skyline

Excellent views of downtown Fort Worth and the historic Stockyards district during the final approach phase.

🛶

Lewisville Lake

A large recreational lake that the flight path often crosses directly over before touching down.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over North Texas. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Oklahoma-Texas border for the best views of Lake Texoma. This side also provides a front-row seat to the cargo terminals and the western runways of DFW.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌳

Ozark Plateau Fringe

View the transition from the rolling hills of southwest Missouri into the flatter prairies of eastern Oklahoma.

🏘️

Frisco & Plano Suburbs

A bird's-eye view of the dense, organized suburban growth and corporate headquarters in the North Dallas corridor.

🏙️

Dallas Skyline

On a clear day during a southbound approach, the iconic Reunion Tower and Bank of America Plaza are visible to the southeast.

🌊

Lake Ray Roberts

A prominent reservoir located just north of the metroplex, often used as a waypoint for arrivals from the north.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting the dense urban development of the 'Platinum Corridor' in Dallas. During a south-flow landing, you will have a distant but clear view of the Dallas city center.
