Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Atlanta to Dallas-fort Worth. Right side wins both ends of the flight — Atlanta's skyline and Stone Mountain on departure, Fort Worth and the Trinity River on arrival. During cruise the right side also faces slightly more southward toward the Red River valley and the transition from pine forests of East Texas to the open prairie, which is more visually interesting than the left side's view over rural Alabama and Mississippi.

During takeoff from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. ATL's primary departure runways (8L/8R/9L/9R) head east before aircraft bank northwest toward DFW. On the right side you get a clear view back over downtown Atlanta's skyline as the aircraft climbs and turns. The right side also captures Stone Mountain to the northeast as a distinctive granite dome rising from the Piedmont plain. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (granite monadnock to the northeast), Lake Allatoona (reservoir to the northwest visible during the turn), Chattahoochee River corridor.

When landing at Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW's primary arrival runways from the east (17C/17L/17R) bring aircraft in from the northeast on a southerly heading. The right side faces west and southwest, giving views over the Fort Worth skyline and the broad Trinity River floodplain. Left side faces east toward Dallas but is partially obscured by the fuselage angle on approach. Notable sights include: Fort Worth downtown skyline, Trinity River and its wide floodplain, Eagle Mountain Lake to the northwest, DFW airport's distinctive parallel runway layout visible just before touchdown.

The flight from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) to Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses central Alabama over the Talladega National Forest, then the Mississippi-Alabama state line near Meridian, crosses into Mississippi briefly before entering Louisiana airspace near the Ouachita River basin, then tracks northwest over the pine forests of East Texas near Tyler and Longview before the landscape opens into the flat blackland prairie approaching DFW. The Red River crossing into Texas is visible as a wide sandy-banked river roughly 45 minutes before landing.
