Best side
RightMostly right

The right side wins overall because the takeoff view of the Dallas metroplex is more dramatic and sustained than the landing view at Augusta. Mid-flight the right side also tracks closer to the Mississippi River crossing near Vicksburg and picks up the Alabama hill country. The left side has a slight edge only on final approach into AGS.

Takeoff from DFW

RIGHT

DFW's primary departure runways (17C/17R heading south, or 18L/18R) mean a right-side seat faces west and northwest during the initial climb and turn eastward. As the aircraft banks east toward Augusta, the right side picks up downtown Dallas skyline and the sprawling DFW metroplex grid. Left side faces toward Fort Worth but quickly loses urban interest.

Landing at AGS

LEFT

Augusta Regional (AGS) sits just south of the Savannah River. Approaches typically come in from the west or northwest on runway 17 heading south, meaning the left side faces east toward the Savannah River and downtown Augusta. The left seat gets the clearest view of the river and the South Carolina lowlands across the state line.
