ABE โ MYR
Which side of the plane to sit from Lehigh Valley International Airport (Allentown) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
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.
Philadelphia Skyline
Distant views of the Delaware River and the urban core of Philadelphia shortly after departure.
Chesapeake Bay
Spectacular aerial views of the Eastern Shore and the massive Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel system.
Hampton Roads
The world's largest naval base at Norfolk and the busy shipping lanes of the Virginia coast.
Outer Banks
Distant views of the narrow barrier islands of North Carolina and the vast Albemarle Sound.
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.
Piedmont Plateau
Rolling hills and the transition from the Appalachian foothills to the coastal plains.
Capital Corridor
Glimpses of the dense urban sprawl stretching between Baltimore and Washington D.C.
Richmond Metro
Aerial views of the James River winding through the heart of Virginia's historic capital city.
Carolina Pine Belt
Vast, green expanses of managed timberlands and dense forests typical of the inland Carolinas.
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'โelliptical depressions in the earth common in this region.
