Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Burlington. While the right side wins at takeoff for the Dallas skyline view, the left side delivers the more sustained and spectacular scenery across the full flight. Once cruising northeast, the left side tracks closer to the Appalachian ridgelines through Tennessee, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and then delivers the stunning Lake Champlain and Adirondack arrival. The right side has open Atlantic coastal plain for much of the mid-flight, which is less interesting.

During takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW's primary departures to the northeast use runways 17L/35R or 18L/36R oriented north-south. Climbing out heading northeast, the right (south/east) side gives you a clear view over the Dallas metro sprawl, the Trinity River corridor, and downtown Dallas skyline receding behind you. The left side faces open suburban sprawl toward Fort Worth with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Downtown Dallas skyline, Trinity River corridor, White Rock Lake, Lake Ray Hubbard to the east.

When landing at Burlington International (BTV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Burlington International sits on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, and approaches typically come from the south or southeast on runway 33 or 15. On a northeast approach or straight-in from the south, the left side faces west directly over Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains beyond in New York State, which is the dominant visual feature of this arrival. The right side faces the Green Mountains of Vermont, which are also scenic but the lake-plus-Adirondacks combination on the left is more dramatic. Notable sights include: Lake Champlain, Adirondack Mountains (New York), Green Mountains of Vermont, Burlington waterfront.

The flight from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to Burlington International (BTV) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over the Ozark Plateau of Arkansas, then crosses the Mississippi River near Memphis, continues over the Tennessee Valley and the western ridges of the Appalachian Mountains through Tennessee and Kentucky, crosses the Ohio River, then passes over the Appalachian ridges of West Virginia and Pennsylvania including the characteristic parallel folded ridges of the Ridge and Valley province, before descending over the Hudson Valley and into Vermont's Champlain Valley.
