ABE โ†’ MYR

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the intricate geography of the Chesapeake Bay, and the famous white-sand beaches of the Grand Strand upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Philadelphia Skyline

Distant views of the Delaware River and the urban core of Philadelphia shortly after departure.

๐ŸŒŠ

Chesapeake Bay

Spectacular aerial views of the Eastern Shore and the massive Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel system.

โš“

Hampton Roads

The world's largest naval base at Norfolk and the busy shipping lanes of the Virginia coast.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Outer Banks

Distant views of the narrow barrier islands of North Carolina and the vast Albemarle Sound.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

The Grand Strand

The continuous 60-mile stretch of Atlantic beach as the plane descends into Myrtle Beach.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean. Look out for the Chesapeake Bay crossing approximately 40 minutes into the flight. If the plane approaches MYR from the north, the left side provides an unobstructed view of the oceanfront resorts and piers.

Right Side Highlights
6.3
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Piedmont Plateau

Rolling hills and the transition from the Appalachian foothills to the coastal plains.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Capital Corridor

Glimpses of the dense urban sprawl stretching between Baltimore and Washington D.C.

๐ŸŒ†

Richmond Metro

Aerial views of the James River winding through the heart of Virginia's historic capital city.

๐ŸŒฒ

Carolina Pine Belt

Vast, green expanses of managed timberlands and dense forests typical of the inland Carolinas.

โ›ณ

Golf Course Clusters

Dozens of world-class golf courses visible as you enter the South Carolina Lowcountry.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the ocean. It offers a better view of the inland river systems like the Waccamaw River. During the descent, watch for the unique 'Carolina Bays'โ€”elliptical depressions in the earth common in this region.
