Search flights from ABE to PGD
Chesapeake Bay
View the massive estuary system of Maryland and Virginia, including the distinct patterns of the Eastern Shore.
Outer Banks
On clear days, see the thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Charleston Harbor
The historic South Carolina port city and its iconic Ravenel Bridge are often visible from cruise altitude.
Kennedy Space Center
Look for the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads as you traverse the Florida coastline.
Daytona Beach
The long, straight stretch of white sand and the famous international speedway can be spotted nearby.
Morning flights on the left side may experience significant sun glare; however, this is the best side for seeing the sunrise over the Atlantic. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to capture the clearest photos of the coastal transition from the Mid-Atlantic to the subtropics.
