SJD → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Los Cabos International Airport (San Jose Del Cabo) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is highly recommended for its dramatic transition from the azure waters of the Sea of Cortez to the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Madre Occidental and a superior view of the Fort Worth skyline upon arrival.
Search flights from SJD to DFW
East Cape Coastline
Striking views of the southern Baja peninsula where the desert meets the deep blue sea.
Sierra Madre Occidental
Dramatic, jagged mountain ridges and high-altitude plateaus of Northern Mexico.
Chihuahua Wilderness
Stark, beautiful desert landscapes and unique geological formations as you cross the border.
Fort Worth District
Clear views of the Tarrant County skyline and the cultural district during the final descent.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Sierra Madre mountains. During the winter, look for snow on the high peaks of Chihuahua. On approach to DFW from the south, the left side usually offers a better view of the downtown Fort Worth area and the Trinity River.

Sea of Cortez
Expansive views of the Gulf of California and the coastline of Sinaloa and Sonora.
Copper Canyon Fringe
Deep ravines and rugged canyon terrain visible near the Chihuahua-Sinaloa border.
Permian Basin
The vast industrial geometric patterns of oil wells and infrastructure across West Texas.
Grapevine Lake
Scenic water views and recreational areas just moments before touchdown at the airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. Keep an eye out for the Pecos River crossing, which creates a sharp green line through the Texas desert. If landing towards the north, the right side may catch a glimpse of the distant Dallas skyline and Grapevine Lake's north shore.
