SAV โ†’ DFW

Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Tybee Island & Coastline

Stunning views of the Atlantic coastline, barrier islands, and the mouth of the Savannah River immediately after departure.

๐ŸŒŠ

Mississippi River Crossing

The massive, meandering silhouette of the Mississippi River provides a clear landmark roughly halfway through the journey.

๐Ÿšค

Lake Ray Hubbard

A massive reservoir east of Dallas featuring the long bridge of Interstate 30 stretching across the water.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

North Dallas Suburbs

The organized, sprawling grid of Plano and Frisco, including major sports complexes like The Star.

๐Ÿ’ง

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' interchangeโ€”one of the world's most complex highway junctions.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Historic Savannah District

Bird's-eye view of the unique colonial grid system and lush green squares of downtown Savannah shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒฒ

East Texas Piney Woods

Dense evergreen forests that define the landscape as the flight transitions from Louisiana into the Texas border region.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Dallas Skyline

On a southern approach (South Flow), the iconic Reunion Tower and Bank of America Plaza are visible in the distance.

๐Ÿ

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.
