Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the North Dallas skyline and the expansive DFW terminal layout during final descent into the airport complex.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🛶

Lake Ray Hubbard

The massive reservoir featuring the iconic Interstate 30 bridge crossing the water.

🏢

Downtown Dallas Skyline

A clear view of the Bank of America Plaza and Reunion Tower if the flight path tracks north of the city.

🏟️

North Dallas Landmarks

Views of the SMU campus and the dense commercial developments along the North Tollway corridor.

✈️

DFW Terminal View

An incredible bird's-eye view of the massive five-terminal layout and runway systems during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Dallas skyline. Have your camera ready specifically for the approach into DFW, as the terminal scale is best viewed from this side.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌳

East Texas Piney Woods

Aerial view of the dense evergreen forests surrounding the Tyler area immediately after takeoff.

💧

Lake Palestine

A large reservoir visible to the south, reflecting sunlight during morning departures.

🌾

Trinity River Basin

The winding path of the Trinity River as it snakes through the rural landscape toward the Metroplex.

🏙️

Southern Suburbs

The residential expansion of Cedar Hill and Duncanville visible just before the final turn for landing.

Fly during the early morning to avoid the heat haze and see the fog lifting off the East Texas lakes. For the best lighting on the southern landscape, sit on this side during the midday sun.
