SLP → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Ponciano Arriaga International Airport (San Luis Potosi) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
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.
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.
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.
