SJTDFW

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Fort Worth skyline and the massive sports complexes in the Metroplex during the descent into DFW.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

San Angelo Downtown

Immediate views of the Concho River and the historic city center right after takeoff from SJT.

🚜

West Texas Ranchlands

A patchwork of mesquite-dotted ranch land and wind farms stretching toward the horizon.

🏗️

Fort Worth Skyline

On the descent, enjoy a clear view of the Bass Performance Hall and the downtown skyscrapers.

🏈

Arlington Stadiums

In the distance to the southeast, you can often spot the silver dome of AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field.

The right side is ideal for urban enthusiasts. For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. During sunset flights, the Fort Worth skyline glows brilliantly. This side is also better for spotting the expansive DFW airport grounds just before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

O.H. Ivie Lake

A massive reservoir shortly after departure that stands out against the arid West Texas landscape.

✈️

Dyess Air Force Base

Located just west of Abilene, you can often see the runways and B-1 bombers on the tarmac.

🌊

Possum Kingdom Lake

Known for its 'Hell's Gate' cliffs, this winding lake is a stunning geographic landmark north of the flight path.

🏎️

Texas Motor Speedway

If the plane approaches DFW from the north, this massive racing venue is clearly visible to the left.

Sit on the left for the best views of the natural geography and the rugged transition from the Edwards Plateau to the Cross Timbers. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting on the limestone cliffs of Possum Kingdom Lake. If landing to the south, you will get a great look at the Denton area.
