Appalachian Foothills
Lush rolling hills and the Tennessee River valley shortly after takeoff from Nashville.
Atlanta Skyline
The dense high-rises of downtown Atlanta are often visible mid-flight depending on the specific airway.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's largest freshwater lake appears as a massive, circular blue expanse as you enter South Florida.
The Gold Coast
Panoramic views of the Atlantic coastline, including the beaches of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood.
Miami Beach & Downtown
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay and the iconic Miami skyline on the final approach.
Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses; however, the lighting for the Florida coastline is best in the early afternoon. Look for the distinct turquoise water line where the continental shelf drops off.

Huntsville & Space Coast Views
Distant views of the Tennessee Valley and Northern Alabama's industrial landscape.
Georgia Farmlands
A patchwork of agricultural grids and red clay soil typical of the deep south.
The Everglades
The 'River of Grass' stretches to the horizon, showcasing the unique ecosystem of the Florida wetlands.
Alligator Alley
The straight line of I-75 cutting through the heart of the protected swamp lands below.
Gulf Horizon
On clear days, the distant glint of the Gulf of Mexico is visible to the far west during the descent.
This is the best side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Everglades. It is also preferred if the airport is landing toward the west, as it offers a front-row seat to the vast, uninhabited wetlands right before the urban sprawl of Miami begins.
