TLH → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Tallahassee Regional Airport (Tallahassee) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Gulf Coast shoreline, the intricate wetlands of the Mississippi River delta, and the urban sprawl of New Orleans.
Apalachicola National Forest
Dense pine canopies and wetlands immediately visible after takeoff from Tallahassee.
The Emerald Coast
Stunning white sand beaches and turquoise waters between Panama City and Pensacola.
Mobile Bay
A broad view of the bay, including the Port of Mobile and the Battleship USS Alabama.
New Orleans & Pontchartrain
Views of the Crescent City, the Superdome, and the massive Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.
Atchafalaya Basin
The largest wetland and swamp in the United States, featuring a maze of bayous and cypress trees.
Dallas Skyline
On a typical southern approach into DFW, the Reunion Tower and downtown skyscrapers are visible.
Sit on the left for the best coastal views; mid-morning flights offer the best lighting to see the turquoise water of the Gulf. During descent into Dallas, keep your camera ready for the downtown skyline if the flight path approaches from the south.
Mississippi Piney Woods
Vast stretches of managed timberlands and rolling hills across the Deep South.
Red River Valley
The distinctive winding, reddish-brown waters marking the border area near Shreveport.
Lake Tawakoni
A massive reservoir in East Texas popular for fishing and recreation.
Lake Ray Hubbard
A large blue reservoir that serves as a major landmark just east of the Dallas metro area.
North Dallas Suburbs
View the rapid urban development of Plano, Frisco, and Richardson during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. Watch for the geometric patterns of logging in the forests of Alabama and Mississippi, and look for the Red River's unique color as you cross into East Texas.
