Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Brisbane. Right side wins at both ends of this flight. Over the Pacific the views are largely oceanic regardless of side, but the right side delivers the better urban spectacle at DFW departure and the Brisbane River and CBD on approach. If you are awake for the Australian coastline arrival, right side is clearly superior.

During takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW typically departs south on runways 17L/17R or north on 35L/35R. For southbound departures, the right side gives you a clear view of downtown Dallas skyline to the east as you climb out. For northbound departures, the right side still tracks the Dallas metro sprawl and the Trinity River corridor. Either way, the left side faces Fort Worth which is less visually dramatic at altitude. Notable sights include: Downtown Dallas skyline, Trinity River corridor, White Rock Lake, DFW airport layout itself during initial climb.

When landing at Brisbane International (BNE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Brisbane Airport sits on the northeastern edge of the city beside the Brisbane River mouth and Moreton Bay. Aircraft typically land on runway 01 heading north or runway 19 heading south. On the common runway 01 approach from the south, the right side faces west over the Brisbane CBD, the river's distinctive horseshoe bend, and the inner suburbs. The left side looks out over Moreton Bay and North Stradbroke Island which is scenic but less urban. Notable sights include: Brisbane CBD and Story Bridge area, Brisbane River horseshoe bend at South Bank, Moreton Bay and Stradbroke Island, Glass House Mountains to the north.

The flight from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to Brisbane International (BNE) takes Approximately 17 to 18 hours nonstop, typically routing via Los Angeles or Sydney with one stop making total journey around 20 to 22 hours.

The route crosses the Gulf of Mexico, then the vast Pacific Ocean for the majority of the flight. Depending on routing, you may pass near Hawaii or track a great circle arc through the central Pacific. The Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef region may be visible on the Australian approach if routing comes from the northeast, though most flights approach Brisbane from the east over open ocean.
