TRC → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco Sarabia International Airport (Torreon) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an excellent view of the Torreon urban area upon takeoff and offers a high probability of seeing the iconic Dallas skyline on the final approach into DFW.
Torreon Metro
A comprehensive view of the Comarca Lagunera region including Gomez Palacio and Lerdo upon ascent.
Rio Grande
The winding international boundary river visible as the flight crosses into United States airspace.
Texas Blackland Prairies
The shift to organized agricultural grids and lush farmlands as the plane descends into North Texas.
Dallas Skyline
A stunning view of the Reunion Tower and the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge during the standard landing sequence.
Arlington Sports Complex
Spot AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field just south of the airport during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the Dallas skyline beautifully. During the descent, look for the Trinity River corridor which serves as a landmark for the Dallas urban core. In winter, the late afternoon light provides a golden hour glow over the Texas plains.
Chihuahuan Desert
Vast stretches of the Bolsón de Mapimí basin featuring unique arid geological formations.
Sierra de la Paila
Rugged mountain ridges of Coahuila stretching along the western horizon shortly after departure.
Amistad Reservoir
A massive international reservoir on the Rio Grande border with striking turquoise waters against desert scrub.
Edwards Plateau
The transition into the Texas Hill Country characterized by limestone canyons and cedar-covered hills.
Fort Worth Skyline
Clear views of the 'City of Cowboys and Culture' during the northwestern arrival patterns to DFW.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the arid Mexican landscape to the greener rolling hills of Central Texas. This side is also superior if the flight path tracks closer to the western 'Devil's River' region.
