Which side of the plane to sit from Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock) to William P Hobby Airport (Houston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling East Texas Piney Woods and, most importantly, provides the best vantage point for the iconic Houston skyline during the final approach into Hobby Airport.

Ouachita National Forest
To the west, catch glimpses of the dense, rolling timberlands that characterize the southern edge of the Ouachita range.
Millwood Lake
A large, scenic reservoir in Southwest Arkansas known for its extensive wetlands and diverse bird populations.
Lake Conroe
A major recreational hub north of Houston, easily identifiable by the luxury developments lining its shores.
Houston Skyline
As the plane turns for Hobby Airport, the cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown Houston provides a dramatic urban vista.
NRG Stadium & Astrodome
Look for the massive white roof of NRG Stadium and the historic dome next to it as you approach the southern side of the city.
The right side is the 'gold standard' for Houston arrivals. For the best view of the skyline, aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view. During sunset flights, this side will experience the 'Golden Hour' glow over the Texas plains, though window glare can be intense.

Arkansas River
Visible immediately after takeoff from Little Rock, showing the winding waterway that defines the city's geography.
Red River Basin
The distinctive reddish-brown waters of the Red River mark the transition from Arkansas into the Louisiana/Texas border region.
Sam Rayburn Reservoir
A massive, sprawling lake in the heart of East Texas, known for its jagged shoreline and surrounding deep green forests.
Houston Ship Channel
On final descent, look for the industrial complexity and massive tankers navigating one of the world's busiest ports.
San Jacinto Monument
The world's tallest masonry column is often visible near the coast, commemorating the 1836 battle for Texas independence.
Sit on the left if you enjoy industrial landscapes and water features. On morning flights, be prepared for significant glare as the sun rises in the east. Keep an eye out for the San Jacinto Monument just before landing, which looks like a miniature Washington Monument near the bay.
