Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning departure over the famous West Bay of Roatan and typically provides a superior view of the Dallas skyline and the Trinity River corridor during the final approach into DFW.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

West Bay Roatan

Aerial view of the island's most famous white-sand beach and luxury resorts immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Mesoamerican Barrier Reef

The dramatic transition from turquoise shallows to the deep blue abyss of the Caribbean Sea.

🚢

Galveston Bay

Major shipping channels and coastal infrastructure as the flight crosses into Texas territory.

🏙️

Downtown Dallas

Excellent views of the Reunion Tower and the iconic Dallas skyline on a north-facing approach.

For the best experience, book a seat forward of the wing to capture the vibrant colors of the coral reefs without engine heat distortion. On morning flights, the sun is behind the aircraft, making the Caribbean water colors appear much more vivid and photogenic.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🤿

Anthony's Key

A glimpse of the famous dolphin lagoons and the northern coastline of Roatan during the initial climb.

🛶

Utila Island

The neighboring Bay Island often visible in the distance across the blue water.

🌲

East Texas Piney Woods

Dense forest canopies and sprawling reservoirs like Sam Rayburn as you fly over East Texas.

🏟️

Arlington Entertainment District

Views of AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field during the descent if landing on the western runways.

The right side is the 'cool' side for afternoon flights, as it will be shaded from the harsh western sun. This side is also better for spotting the winding rivers and numerous lakes of the southern US interior during the cruise phase.
