Which side of the plane to sit from Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (Lubbock) to Dallas Love Field (Dallas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the massive wind farm arrays in West Texas and provides a more direct view of the Fort Worth and Dallas skylines during the descent into Dallas Love Field.
Roscoe Wind Farm
One of the world's largest onshore wind farms, featuring hundreds of turbines stretching across the horizon near Sweetwater.
Fort Worth Skyline
A clear view of the 'City of Cowboys and Culture' and the nearby Stockyards during the descent.
Arlington Sports District
Spot the massive silver roof of AT&T Stadium and the adjacent Globe Life Field as you enter the metroplex.
Dallas Skyline
An iconic view of the Reunion Tower and the glowing neon-lined skyscrapers of downtown Dallas just before touchdown at Love Field.
For evening flights, the right side captures spectacular Texas sunsets over the wind farms. As the plane descends into the DFW area, keep your camera ready for the transition from rural landscape to one of the most illuminated skylines in the US.
Caprock Escarpment
The dramatic geological boundary where the flat Llano Estacado drops off into the rolling plains of West Texas.
Possum Kingdom Lake
A deep, winding reservoir known for its 'Hell's Gate' cliffs, visible as you cross north of Mineral Wells.
North DFW Suburbs
Expansive views of Lewisville Lake and the dense urban sprawl of Denton and Frisco during the arrival phase.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Watch for the sudden change in terrain about 15 minutes after takeoff from Lubbock as you leave the High Plains.
