Niagara Falls
Located shortly after takeoff, the falls are often visible to the south as the plane crosses the Lake Erie shoreline.
Toronto Skyline
A stunning view of the CN Tower and the Lake Ontario waterfront during the initial climb from Pearson Airport.
Cincinnati & Ohio River
Aerial views of the winding Ohio River and the bridges connecting Ohio to Kentucky.
Nashville
The Music City's metropolitan sprawl and the Cumberland River are frequently visible mid-flight.
Dallas Skyline
On the 'Regional' or 'Cedar Creek' arrivals into DFW, the left side gets a clear view of the Reunion Tower and downtown Dallas.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for the first half of the trip. If departing to the south, keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for a potential shot of the Niagara region. On clear nights, the grid patterns of the American Midwest provide a beautiful light show.

Lake Erie
Expansive views of the Great Lake's western basin and the shoreline of Southern Ontario.
Kentucky Bluegrass
The rolling green hills and horse farms of central Kentucky provide a lush landscape mid-route.
Ozark Mountains
The rugged, forested terrain of the Ozark Plateau in Arkansas offers beautiful textures from altitude.
Lake Texoma
A massive reservoir on the Texas-Oklahoma border that signals the final descent into the DFW metroplex.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As you approach Texas, watch for the shift from green forests to the more arid, flat terrain of the Southern Plains. This side also offers a great view of DFW's massive airfield layout upon landing.
