SGF → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Springfield Branson National Airport (Springfield) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rapidly growing Northwest Arkansas corridor and typically provides a more expansive view of the DFW airport complex upon arrival.
Bentonville & Rogers
Aerial view of the massive corporate headquarters and urban sprawl of the Northwest Arkansas region.
University of Arkansas
Look for the Razorback Stadium and the hilltop campus in Fayetteville as you cruise south.
Table Rock Lake
Glimpses of the scenic White River and the Branson area's aquatic recreation spots.
Lake Ray Roberts
A prominent landmark for pilots marking the final approach into the North Texas region.
DFW Airport Layout
A spectacular view of one of the world's largest airports, including its seven runways and five terminals.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Keep your camera ready during the descent; you will often fly directly over Grapevine Lake, providing a perfect backdrop for the DFW airport complex. During clear winter days, the terrain of the Ozark foothills is much more visible through the bare trees.
Springfield Cityscape
A clear view of the Queen City of the Ozarks immediately following departure from SGF.
Beaver Lake
The expansive, winding shoreline of this major reservoir in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas.
Ozark National Forest
Dense canopy views of the Boston Mountains, part of the high Ozark plateau.
Lake Texoma
One of the largest reservoirs in the United States, straddling the Oklahoma-Texas border.
Dallas Skyline
On a typical southern arrival into DFW, the left side provides views of the distinctive Dallas skyscrapers.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Ozarks without harsh glare. If the aircraft approaches DFW from the north and lands toward the south, this side offers the most iconic views of the Dallas central business district and Reunion Tower.
