Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Arkansas River and downtown Little Rock immediately after takeoff, followed by a panoramic approach into Dallas Love Field that often showcases the city's skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Arkansas State Capitol

A clear view of the neoclassical capitol building and the downtown Little Rock business district shortly after departure.

🌊

Arkansas River

The flight path typically follows or crosses the winding river, providing views of the Big Dam Bridge and river traffic.

⛰️

Ouachita National Forest

Look northwest to see the ancient, folded ridges of the Ouachita Mountains stretching toward the Oklahoma border.

🏙️

Downtown Dallas Skyline

Often provides a world-class view of the Reunion Tower and Bank of America Plaza when landing on the 13 runways.

🏞️

Lake Ray Hubbard

A major recreational lake that signals your entry into the immediate Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area.

The right side is the winner for urban scenery. Aim for a seat in the front third of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. For evening flights, you may witness a spectacular sunset over the Texas plains as you descend into Love Field.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
✈️

Adams Field Grounds

A comprehensive overhead view of the Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport infrastructure and cargo facilities during initial climb.

🌲

East Texas Piney Woods

Vast stretches of dense timberland and rolling hills as the flight crosses from Arkansas into the Texas border region.

🎣

Lake Tawakoni

A massive 37,000-acre reservoir known as the Catfish Capital of Texas, visible as a sprawling blue landmark to the south.

🏟️

Fair Park & Cotton Bowl

On a southern approach, catch a glimpse of the historic Art Deco buildings of Fair Park and the iconic Cotton Bowl stadium.

🛣️

The High Five Interchange

Observe the intricate engineering of Dallas's massive multi-level highway interchanges during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side is also excellent for viewing the grid-like expansion of the Dallas suburbs and the historic architecture of Fair Park if the landing pattern brings you in from the southeast.
