SAV โ DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (Savannah) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers the best balance of scenic coastal views upon departure from Georgia and expansive reservoir and suburban landscapes when entering the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Tybee Island & Coastline
Stunning views of the Atlantic coastline, barrier islands, and the mouth of the Savannah River immediately after departure.
Mississippi River Crossing
The massive, meandering silhouette of the Mississippi River provides a clear landmark roughly halfway through the journey.
Lake Ray Hubbard
A massive reservoir east of Dallas featuring the long bridge of Interstate 30 stretching across the water.
North Dallas Suburbs
The organized, sprawling grid of Plano and Frisco, including major sports complexes like The Star.
Lake Lewisville
A popular recreational lake often circled during the descent into DFW, offering views of marinas and shorelines.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. For the best coastal views, hope for an eastbound takeoff that banks south and west. During descent, look for the 'high-five' interchangeโone of the world's most complex highway junctions.
Historic Savannah District
Bird's-eye view of the unique colonial grid system and lush green squares of downtown Savannah shortly after takeoff.
East Texas Piney Woods
Dense evergreen forests that define the landscape as the flight transitions from Louisiana into the Texas border region.
Dallas Skyline
On a southern approach (South Flow), the iconic Reunion Tower and Bank of America Plaza are visible in the distance.
Trinity River
The winding river path and its associated levee system cutting through the heart of the Dallas urban sprawl.
Select the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for photos. This side is also superior for viewing the downtown Dallas skyline if the airport is operating in a south-flow landing pattern.
