About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to Venezia Tessera (VCE)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Venice. While takeoff favors the right, the landing view over the Venetian Lagoon is genuinely exceptional and unique—a once-in-a-lifetime perspective of Venice's geography. The lagoon's shallow waters and barrier island system are far more visually distinctive than Dallas departure views.
