Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Burbank. Right side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise over West Texas and New Mexico the right side also faces slightly more toward the elevated terrain of the Llano Estacado escarpment and the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico, while both sides see similar high desert. The mountain arrival into Burbank on the right is the single most dramatic visual moment of the flight.

During takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW typically departs westbound on runways 17L/17R or 18L/18R heading south then turning west, or directly west on runways 13L/13R. A right-side seat captures the Dallas-Fort Worth metro sprawl, the Trinity River corridor, and downtown Fort Worth as the aircraft climbs and banks northwest toward New Mexico. Left side faces open suburban development with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Downtown Fort Worth skyline, Trinity River corridor, Lake Worth to the northwest, DFW airport layout itself during initial climb.

When landing at Burbank Glendale Pasadena (BUR), sit on the Right side for the best views. BUR typically lands on runway 08 heading east or runway 15 heading southeast. Approaching from the east over the San Gabriel Valley, right-side seats get a direct view of the San Gabriel Mountains looming immediately to the north, with the Verdugo Mountains close in and the Los Angeles Basin spreading south. Left side faces south toward central LA but the mountains — the dominant visual feature — are on the right. Notable sights include: San Gabriel Mountains (including Mount Wilson), Verdugo Mountains directly adjacent to Burbank, Griffith Park and the LA Basin spreading southward, the 134/5 freeway interchange grid of the San Fernando Valley.

The flight from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to Burbank Glendale Pasadena (BUR) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The flight crosses the flat Llano Estacado of West Texas, then the Rio Grande valley near El Paso or slightly north, the Sacramento Mountains and White Sands region of New Mexico (the pale white gypsum flats of White Sands are occasionally visible as a bright patch), the Chihuahuan Desert transition, then the Mojave Desert of southeastern California before descending over the San Gabriel Valley into Burbank
