About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Providenciales (PLS) to Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Providenciales to Dallas-fort Worth. The left side wins overall for the spectacular Caribbean departure views over the Caicos Bank and cays, which are genuinely world-class aerial scenery. The landing advantage on the right is real but more modest — Dallas from the air is a flat grid with a modest skyline. The turquoise-to-cobalt color contrast leaving Providenciales is the highlight of this route.
