AVP → CLT
Which side of the plane to sit from Wilkes Barre Scranton International Airport (Scranton) to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic 'Fold and Thrust' belt of the Appalachian Mountains and the vast wilderness of the National Forests through Virginia.

Appalachian Ridges
A spectacular view of the parallel mountain ridges that define the Central Pennsylvania landscape.
George Washington Forest
Dense, uninterrupted forest canopies stretching across the Virginia border into the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Blue Ridge Parkway
Look for the winding scenic highway as it traverses the crests of the mountains south of Roanoke.
Lake Norman
As the plane enters the Charlotte metro area, the massive shoreline of Lake Norman is highly visible on the right.
Sit on the right side during early morning or midday flights for the best mountain clarity. Avoid the right side on late afternoon flights as the setting sun can be blinding and obscure the terrain details.

Susquehanna River
Watch as the wide, winding river cuts through the Pennsylvania hills shortly after takeoff from AVP.
Harrisburg & Three Mile Island
Aerial views of the Pennsylvania state capital and the iconic cooling towers of the nuclear generating station.
Uptown Charlotte
On many southern approaches, the left side provides a striking view of the Charlotte skyline during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for spotting the major river systems of the Mid-Atlantic and the urban sprawl of the Piedmont region.
