Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Houston, showing the Gulf Coastal Plain, Galveston Bay, and the Houston metropolitan area's sprawl before final approach over the airport's location on the flat terrain northeast of the city center. Notable sights include: Galveston Bay and barrier islands, Houston Ship Channel and industrial corridor, Brazos River delta region, flat Gulf Coastal Plain extending to the horizon.

The flight path crosses the Gulf of Mexico heading northeast. Notable features include the Yucatan Channel waters (open gulf with minimal landmarks), the transition from Baja's desert to the flat Gulf Coastal Plain of Mexico's Tamaulipas state, and the gradual approach to the Texas coast. The Rio Grande delta may be visible to the left (west) during the latter portion of the flight, marking the US-Mexico border. Most of the mid-flight segment offers open water with limited scenic features until approaching the Texas coastline.
