Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the jagged Sierra Madre Oriental mountain ridges and provides a more direct perspective of the iconic Dallas skyline during the standard approach into DFW.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Sierra Madre Oriental

Dramatic views of the steep, folded limestone mountain ranges that run parallel to the flight path in Mexico.

💧

Falcon Reservoir

A massive turquoise body of water on the Rio Grande that marks the international boundary between the US and Mexico.

🌾

Texas Brush Country

The unique landscape of South Texas, characterized by geometric ranch patterns and dense mesquite vegetation.

🏙️

Dallas Skyline

The most iconic view of the trip, featuring the Reunion Tower and the shimmering glass skyscrapers of downtown Dallas.

🏟️

AT&T Stadium

A bird's-eye view of the massive, silver-domed home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington during the southern approach.

For the best mountain views, choose the right side on morning flights when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre. When landing to the north (South Flow), this side provides a stunning panoramic view of the Dallas skyline and the Trinity River corridor.

🏜️

Mexican Plateau

Expansive views of the high-altitude arid landscapes and volcanic soil of the Bajío region.

Chihuahuan Desert

DFW Logistics Hub

An impressive overhead view of the massive terminal layout and the sprawling cargo facilities on the west side of the airport.
