Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Memphis to Dallas-fort Worth. The Left side captures the most dramatic single moment of the flight — the Mississippi River bend and Memphis skyline on departure — and also offers views of the Dallas urban sprawl on approach from the east. The Right side has good landing views but the terrain across Arkansas and East Texas is uniformly flat with little to distinguish it.

During takeoff from Memphis International (MEM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Memphis departures on runway 18L/18C head southward before turning west, putting the Left side facing east toward downtown Memphis and the Mississippi River. You get a clear view of the river's wide bend, the Hernando de Soto Bridge, and the Memphis skyline as the aircraft banks right toward its westward heading. Notable sights include: Mississippi River and its broad meander at Memphis, Hernando de Soto Bridge (I-40), Memphis downtown skyline, Tom Lee Park riverfront.

When landing at Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW arrivals typically come in from the east on runway 17R/18L heading south, placing the Right side facing west over the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. You get a panoramic view of the Fort Worth skyline, Lake Worth, and the sprawling DFW airport complex itself as you descend. Notable sights include: Fort Worth downtown skyline, Lake Worth (northwest Fort Worth), DFW airport layout visible below, Eagle Mountain Lake to the northwest.

The flight from Memphis International (MEM) to Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) takes Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The flight crosses the flat Mississippi Alluvial Plain of Arkansas, then transitions over the Ouachita Mountains in central Arkansas (low, forested ridges visible around Little Rock), before descending across the East Texas Piney Woods and the broad flat prairies of Northeast Texas approaching DFW.
