Which side of the plane to sit from San Antonio International Airport (San Antonio) to Dallas Love Field (Dallas)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the Interstate 35 corridor, the Right Side is the clear winner for its spectacular, low-altitude approach over Downtown Dallas when landing at Love Field.

Randolph AFB
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic 'Taj Mahal' administration building and the symmetrical runways of this major Air Force base.
Lake Whitney
A beautiful reservoir on the Brazos River featuring white limestone cliffs and deep blue water.
Downtown Dallas
The highlight of the trip; enjoy an incredible, close-up view of Reunion Tower and the skyline during the final descent.
DFW International
Look toward the horizon to see one of the world's largest and busiest airports operating simultaneously.
Request a window seat on the right side specifically for the arrival. Most flights land facing Northwest (Runway 31L/R), which puts the Dallas skyline directly outside your window at a very low altitude. For the best lighting on the skyline, choose a late afternoon or early morning flight when the sun illuminates the glass towers.

Austin Skyline
On clear days, see the dense cluster of skyscrapers in the Texas State Capital as you pass to the west.
Baylor University
Look for the distinct brick architecture of the campus and McLane Stadium along the Brazos River in Waco.
Hill Country Edge
Observe the transition from the coastal plains to the rolling limestone hills of the Texas Hill Country to the west.
The left side is preferable for sunset flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It also offers a better view of the rural landscape and the sprawling western suburbs of the I-35 corridor. Watch for the 'purple haze' over the Hill Country during twilight.
