Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a spectacular continuous panorama of the U.S. East Coast, featuring major estuaries, historic coastal cities, and the transition to tropical Florida landscapes.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🦀

Chesapeake Bay

Aerial views of the massive estuary, including the Delmarva Peninsula and the Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

🏝️

Outer Banks

The distinct thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands and the vast Pamlico Sound.

⚓

Charleston Harbor

Spot the historic South Carolina coastline and the iconic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.

🚀

Cape Canaveral

Views of the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the Banana River along the Florida coast.

🏙️

South Florida Skyline

Dense urban development stretching from West Palm Beach down toward Fort Lauderdale's beaches.

Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the coastline. This side is superior for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing window glare while illuminating the coastal landmarks. Keep an eye out for the clear turquoise waters as you approach the Florida coast.

Left Side Highlights
4.2
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream's distinct color changes.

🌅

Atlantic Sunrise

Spectacular morning views of the sun rising over the water for early departures.

☁️

Cloud Formations

Towering cumulus clouds and weather fronts frequently develop over the warm ocean waters.

Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise, but prepare for significant glare. It is generally less scenic as most of the flight path tracks over or near the water, offering limited terrestrial views.
