Notable sights include: Santa Catalina Mountains, Tucson urban area, Saguaro National Park East (distant), Arizona-Sonora Desert.

When landing at Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into DFW. The standard arrival pattern brings aircraft over the Fort Worth area from the west, positioning left-side passengers to see the Trinity River, downtown Fort Worth skyline, and the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Notable sights include: Trinity River, downtown Fort Worth skyline, Dallas-Fort Worth urban sprawl, Lake Worth (west of Fort Worth).

The flight path crosses central Arizona and New Mexico, passing over the Chiricahua Mountains and San Simon Valley in southeastern Arizona, then transitioning into New Mexico's high desert plateau. The aircraft will cross the Rio Grande valley near Las Cruces, New Mexico, then continue eastward over the Permian Basin of West Texas with its sparse desert landscape, scattered mesas, and occasional ranch lands. No major water bodies are crossed; the terrain is predominantly arid with low vegetation and scattered buttes visible from altitude.
