Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the edge of the Appalachian foothills early in the flight and provides a more comprehensive view of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex sprawl and skyline during the arrival sequence.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Appalachian Fringe

The southern terminus of the Appalachian Mountains provides rolling green terrain during the first hour.

🍑

Atlanta Outskirts

Depending on the flight path, the northern suburbs and dense forest canopy of Georgia are visible.

🚤

Lake Ouachita

The rugged, forested terrain and clear blue waters of the Arkansas highlands visible to the north.

🏢

DFW Metroplex

Expansive views of the Frisco and Plano areas, often including a distant view of the Dallas skyline.

✈️

DFW Airport Layout

A great view of one of the world's largest airport footprints during the final descent and landing.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. Watch for the dramatic change from the lush, green forests of East Texas to the more arid, grid-patterned urban landscape of Dallas-Fort Worth as you cross the 96th meridian.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Lowcountry Marshes

Intricate network of wetlands and tidal creeks visible immediately after departure from Myrtle Beach.

🏙️

Birmingham Skyline

View of the largest city in Alabama and the surrounding iron-rich ridges of the Deep South.

🏞️

Mississippi River

A major crossing point near Vicksburg, where the river carves massive loops through the fertile delta.

💧

Lake Ray Hubbard

A massive reservoir on the eastern edge of the Dallas area, signifying the final approach phase.

Sit on the left for better views of the South Carolina coastline if the plane turns south after takeoff. This side is also better for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for photography of the Mississippi Delta.
