Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most geographically diverse views, featuring the vast expanse of the Everglades and the massive circular silhouette of Lake Okeechobee during the descent into South Florida.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

Tennessee River Valley

Shortly after takeoff, look down to see the meandering bends of the Tennessee River cutting through the hills.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

A highlight of the trip, this massive freshwater lake appears like an inland sea in the center of Florida.

🐊

The Everglades

The unique 'River of Grass' ecosystem stretches to the horizon, dotted with hammocks and winding water trails.

🏘️

Suburban Edge

Observe the sharp, linear divide where the master-planned communities of Weston and Sunrise meet the wild marshland.

Select a seat on the right side for sunset flights to catch the colors reflecting off the Everglades. Keep an eye out about 30 minutes before landing for Lake Okeechobee; it is the most prominent landmark on this route.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Atlanta Metro Glimpses

The flight path often passes near the eastern edge of Atlanta, offering views of the sprawling Georgia suburbs.

🌊

Atlantic Coastline

As the aircraft descends, the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the intracoastal waterway become visible.

🚢

Port Everglades

A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest cruise ports, filled with massive luxury liners and cargo ships.

🏖️

Fort Lauderdale Beach

A stunning perspective of the high-rise hotels and white sands of the A1A strip during the final approach.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. If the wind is blowing from the east, the pilot may loop out over the ocean before landing, giving this side a spectacular view of the entire coastline.
