Aguascalientes to Houston is 718 miles (1,155 km), a flight of about 2 hours 15 minutes.
Right side scores higher due to superior landing approach scenery featuring Galveston Bay, the Houston Ship Channel, and downtown Houston's urban landscape. While left side offers a slightly better departure view of Aguascalientes city, the landing experience on the right side—with visible water, industrial infrastructure, and the city skyline—provides more visual interest and variety across the full flight. The cruise phase over central Texas is relatively flat on both sides, but the approach into Houston tips the balance to the right.
