About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to De Guanajuato International (BJX)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Del Bajio. The left side wins overall because while the right side has a slight edge at DFW departure, the left side delivers the more dramatic scenery during the flight's most interesting phase — the descent into the Bajío with the Sierra de Guanajuato visible and León spread across the plain. En route, the left side also tracks closer to the Sierra Madre Oriental foothills as the flight crosses into Mexico.

What can I see during takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International in Dallas-fort Worth?

During takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW typically departs southbound on runways 17L/17R or 18L/18R, meaning the right (west) side gives you a clear view of Fort Worth's downtown skyline and the sprawling DFW metroplex as you climb out. The left side faces east toward Dallas proper but is partially obscured by the airport's own terminal complex during initial climb. Notable sights include: Fort Worth downtown skyline, Lake Worth to the northwest, the dense suburban grid of the Metroplex fading south, and the Trinity River corridor.

What can I see when landing at De Guanajuato International in Del Bajio?

When landing at De Guanajuato International (BJX), sit on the Left side for the best views. BJX typically lands on runway 13 or uses approaches from the northwest, meaning the left (east-facing) side gives you the best view of the Sierra de Guanajuato foothills and the city of León spreading across the Bajío plain below. The right side faces west toward open agricultural flatlands with less visual interest on final approach. Notable sights include: City of León spreading across the Bajío plain, Sierra de Guanajuato foothills to the north, the patchwork irrigated farmland of the Bajío basin, and the urban sprawl of Silao near the airport.
