AVL → FLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Asheville Regional Airport (Asheville) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, including the potential to see Cape Canaveral and the stunning contrast between the ocean and Florida's urban sprawl on final approach.

Blue Ridge Mountains
Dramatic views of the Appalachian range immediately following takeoff from AVL.
Georgia Coastline
Visible views of the Sea Islands and the winding salt marshes of the Atlantic coast.
Cape Canaveral
On a clear day, the Kennedy Space Center launch pads are visible as you pass the Florida mid-coast.
Palm Beach Shoreline
The striking transition from the deep Atlantic blue to the turquoise shallows of South Florida.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Excellent views of the coastal hotels and the 'Venice of America' canal systems during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is particularly spectacular during the final 20 minutes of flight when the plane often banks over the ocean for a westward approach into FLL, offering a panoramic view of the coastline.

Pisgah National Forest
Aerial perspective of the lush, rolling greenery surrounding the Asheville area.
Lake Okeechobee
The enormous 'Inland Sea' of Florida is a primary landmark visible from the right side.
The Everglades
The vast 'River of Grass' wilderness stretching toward the Gulf of Mexico.
South Florida Suburbs
The unique geometric patterns of master-planned communities and man-made lakes.
Florida Sunset
If flying in the late afternoon, this side provides front-row seats to the sun dropping over the Gulf.
The right side is best for afternoon or evening flights, as it captures the sunset over the Everglades. Keep your camera ready for Lake Okeechobee; its massive scale is best appreciated from cruising altitude. If the airport is landing East, this side will see the expansive suburban grid and Sawgrass Mills area.
