Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Columbus. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise over Arkansas, Missouri, and southern Indiana, the left side also faces slightly more southward where the Ozark Plateau's rolling terrain and river valleys are more visible compared to the flatter agricultural plains to the north on the right side.

During takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Left side for the best views. DFW departures heading northeast (toward CMH) typically use runways 17L/35R or 18L/36R. On a northeast departure, the left side gives you a clear view over downtown Dallas — the skyline with Reunion Tower and the Bank of America Plaza are easily identifiable from climb-out. The right side faces toward Fort Worth and open suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Downtown Dallas skyline with Reunion Tower, White Rock Lake east of downtown, the Trinity River corridor weaving through the metro, Lake Ray Hubbard on the eastern edge of the DFW metro.

When landing at Port Columbus International (CMH), sit on the Left side for the best views. CMH approaches from the southwest on runways 10L/28R or 10R/28L. A southwest approach puts the left side facing south over downtown Columbus, giving clear views of the Scioto River, the Arena District, and the Ohio State University campus. The right side faces north toward suburban sprawl and farmland. Notable sights include: Downtown Columbus skyline along the Scioto River, Ohio State University campus (the Oval and Ohio Stadium are recognizable), Hoover Reservoir northeast of the city, the Scioto River winding through the urban core.
