NAS → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the winner for its scenic sequence featuring the Bahamian shallows, the iconic Miami skyline, and the vast expanse of the Florida Everglades.
Andros Island
The largest island in the Bahamas featuring a labyrinth of mangrove swamps and the deep blue 'Tongue of the Ocean' trench.
Miami & South Beach
Sweeping views of the Atlantic coastline, high-rise buildings, and the vibrant blue waters of Biscayne Bay.
The Everglades
The world-famous 'River of Grass' showing a unique mosaic of sawgrass marshes and cypress swamps.
Gulf Coast Shipping
Active maritime traffic and cargo vessels navigating the waters off the Mississippi and Louisiana coastlines.
Downtown Dallas
A potential view of the Reunion Tower and the Dallas skyline depending on the landing pattern into DFW.
Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to witness a sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. This side provides the best angle for the Miami skyline during the initial cruise phase and the sprawling Dallas metroplex during the final descent.
The Berry Islands
A cluster of 30 cays surrounded by some of the most vibrant turquoise waters and coral reefs in the Caribbean.
Freeport
Views of the industrial port and the southern edge of the Little Bahama Bank on Grand Bahama Island.
Lake Okeechobee
The massive inland sea of Florida, easily visible as a giant blue circle amidst the surrounding agricultural grid.
Emerald Coast
The stunning white sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle stretching from Destin toward Alabama.
Texas Piney Woods
The dense forest region of East Texas that provides a lush green carpet before the transition to the Dallas suburbs.
The right side is best for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare while photographing the Bahamian reefs. Look out for the distinct transition from the emerald Gulf waters to the dense forests of the Texas-Louisiana border during the spring months when the greenery is most vivid.
