Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oklahoma City to St. Louis. While the landing favors the left for the Mississippi River, the takeoff from OKC is notably superior on the right side. The right side also captures the flight path across central Oklahoma and into Missouri more favorably, with views of the Canadian River valley and the gradual transition from Oklahoma's terrain to Missouri's landscape.

During takeoff from Will Rogers World (OKC), sit on the Right side for the best views. OKC typically departs runways 17L/R or 35L/R depending on wind. Right-side seats offer views of the Canadian River valley and the urban sprawl of Oklahoma City extending eastward. The terrain rises gradually to the east, making the right side more visually interesting during climb-out. Notable sights include: Canadian River (visible as a distinct linear feature southwest of the airport), Oklahoma City downtown skyline (small but identifiable cluster to the south), Lake Hefner (visible as a rectangular water body west-southwest of downtown), Edmond suburbs (sprawling development to the north).

When landing at Lambert St Louis International (STL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching STL typically uses runways 30L/R or 12L/R. Left-side seats during descent offer excellent views of the Mississippi River, which is the dominant geographic feature near Lambert. The river's wide meanders and the confluence area are visually striking and provide geographic context for the approach. Notable sights include: Mississippi River (wide, meandering, clearly visible with multiple bends), Missouri River confluence (where it joins the Mississippi from the north), Gateway Arch (small but distinctive on the St. Louis riverfront), Illinois bluffs (elevated terrain on the eastern bank of the Mississippi).

The flight from Will Rogers World (OKC) to Lambert St Louis International (STL) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses central Oklahoma, passing over the Canadian River valley and the transition zone between the Great Plains and the Ozark Plateau foothills. Around the midpoint (near the Oklahoma-Missouri border), the terrain becomes noticeably more rolling. The Illinois River valley in northeastern Oklahoma is visible from altitude. As the flight approaches Missouri, the landscape transitions from prairie to more forested, rolling terrain characteristic of the Ozark region. The Arkansas River valley may be visible to the south depending on exact routing.
