Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the rugged Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range during departure and avoids direct solar glare on afternoon flights heading north-northeast.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Sierra Madre Oriental

Dramatic limestone ridges and deep canyons visible shortly after takeoff from San Luis Potosi.

🌵

Mexican High Plateau

Vast, arid landscapes of the Altiplano Central with unique geological formations.

🦅

Coahuila Wilderness

Rugged, sparsely populated desert terrain with jagged mountain outcrops near the border.

🌅

Western Horizon

Stunning sunset views over the high desert if flying during the late afternoon or evening.

🏙️

Fort Worth Skyline

Potential views of downtown Fort Worth during the final approach into DFW from the south.

Book an afternoon flight to see the Sierra Madre peaks illuminated by the western sun. If the plane lands at DFW from the north, you may also catch a glimpse of the Texas Motor Speedway.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Monterrey Distance

Distant views of the iconic Cerro de la Silla mountain and the Monterrey metropolitan area.

💧

Rio Grande

The winding river border separating the United States and Mexico, typically crossed near Laredo.

🏘️

Texas Hill Country

The transition from the brush country of South Texas to the rolling hills near Austin.

🛶

Lake Whitney

A large reservoir on the Brazos River often visible during the descent into the metroplex.

🛫

DFW Terminal Complex

The massive scale of one of the world's busiest airports becomes apparent just before touchdown.

Sit on the right for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the Rio Grande and the sprawling urban corridors of Central Texas along I-35.
