Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers to Burbank. Right-side seats capture the most visually distinctive features: the Ozark Plateau and Boston Mountains on departure, and the San Gabriel Mountains on approach. While left seats offer good desert-to-mountain contrast during landing, right seats provide more consistent scenic interest across the entire flight.

During takeoff from Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Ozark Plateau's rolling terrain and the Boston Mountains to the south and southeast. The aircraft departs westbound, so right-side passengers see the elevated topography that defines northwest Arkansas. Notable sights include: Boston Mountains (southern horizon), Illinois River valley (southeast), Beaver Lake (visible on clear days to the south), Fayetteville urban area (directly below during initial climb).

When landing at Burbank Glendale Pasadena (BUR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the Los Angeles Basin during descent into Burbank. The aircraft approaches from the east, so left-side passengers see the dramatic transition from the Mojave Desert floor to the San Gabriel range and the sprawling urban grid of greater Los Angeles. Notable sights include: San Gabriel Mountains (north and northeast), Los Angeles Basin urban sprawl (south and southwest), Mojave Desert floor (east and northeast during early descent), Hollywood Hills and downtown LA skyline (visible in distance to the south).

The flight from Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) to Burbank Glendale Pasadena (BUR) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Oklahoma Panhandle and enters the Texas Panhandle, passing over the High Plains with sparse settlements and grassland. The Canadian River valley is visible in the Oklahoma Panhandle. As the aircraft continues southwest into New Mexico and Arizona, the terrain transitions to high desert with mesas and buttes visible in the distance. The Kaibab Plateau and Grand Canyon region lie to the north of the typical flight corridor. Approaching California, the Mojave Desert dominates the landscape with scattered dry lake beds and Joshua tree forest visible from altitude. The San Bernardino Mountains appear on the western horizon before descent into the Los Angeles Basin.
