For morning flights, the left side offers a stunning sunrise over the Atlantic, though the glare can be intense. In the late afternoon, this side provides perfectly lit views of the coastline without direct sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the dark waters of the Chesapeake to the turquoise hues of the Florida coast.

Appalachian Piedmont
The rolling green hills and transition zone between the mountains and the coastal plain.
Mid-Atlantic Corridor
Distant views of the sprawling urban developments stretching between Baltimore and Washington D.C.
Southern Forests
Dense expanses of pine and hardwood forests across Virginia and the Carolinas.
Research Triangle
The urban centers of Raleigh and Durham are often visible depending on the specific air traffic route.
Florida Sinkhole Lakes
A dense cluster of circular natural lakes characteristic of the Central Florida landscape near Sanford.
The right side is the best choice for afternoon flights if you want to avoid the direct sun, as the plane travels south. It offers a more rural, inland perspective. Look for the 'Fall Line' where the terrain drops from the hills to the coastal plain, and watch for the numerous circular lakes that dot the landscape as you descend into Sanford.
