Red River

Downtown Dallas

Lake Ray Hubbard
A massive blue reservoir east of Dallas that serves as a primary landmark for pilots during descent.
Book a window seat on the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you. This side is most likely to catch the Dallas skyline if the plane approaches DFW from the southeast or east. Watch for the dramatic change from the green bayous of Louisiana to the flatter Texas plains about 45 minutes into the flight.

Mississippi Delta
The intricate geometric patterns of the fertile agricultural lands in the Delta region.
East Texas Piney Woods
Dense, dark green forests that characterize the landscape of the Texas-Louisiana borderlands.
Lake Tawakoni
One of the largest lakes in Texas, often visible just before the descent into the metroplex begins.
Frisco and Plano
The rapidly expanding suburban developments and corporate campuses of the northern Dallas suburbs.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. On northern arrivals, you may see the stadiums of Frisco or the sprawling suburbs of North Dallas. Keep an eye out for the transition from the dense Piney Woods of East Texas into the open prairie landscapes near the destination.
