About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Arkansas International (BYH)?
When landing at Arkansas International (BYH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Arkansas International's primary runway (18/36) typically handles landings from the north, meaning final approach comes from the northwest. The left side offers views of the Mississippi River floodplain and the river itself as you descend toward the runway, plus the broader agricultural landscape of northeastern Arkansas. The right side faces inland toward less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Mississippi River (visible as a broad, meandering waterway to the west/northwest), Blytheville city grid (small urban area near the airport), extensive agricultural fields and levee systems characteristic of the Mississippi Delta, Interstate 55 corridor running north-south in the distance.
