BUFFLL

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the Kennedy Space Center, and the vibrant blue waters of the Florida Gold Coast upon approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Appalachian Plateau

Rolling hills and dense forest cover as the flight crosses into Pennsylvania shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Carolina Coastline

Panoramic views of the Outer Banks and the shifting sands of the Atlantic barrier islands.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Clear visibility of launch pads and the Vehicle Assembly Building near Cape Canaveral.

🏖️

Florida Barrier Islands

The turquoise waters of the Atlantic meeting the high-rise condos of the Florida coast.

🛥️

Port Everglades

Massive cruise ships docked at the port visible during the final descent into FLL.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses. This side is essential for spotting Cape Canaveral and the intricate barrier islands of the Eastern Seaboard.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Allegheny Mountains

Deep ridges and parallel valleys of the central Appalachian mountain chain.

⛳

Piedmont Region

The patchwork of agricultural fields and suburban sprawl across Virginia and Georgia.

🌊

Lake Okeechobee

Florida's largest freshwater lake, appearing as a massive blue inland sea.

🐊

The Everglades

The vast 'River of Grass' stretching to the horizon as the plane prepares to land.

🌆

South Florida Suburbs

The dense, geometric canal systems and suburban grids of western Broward County.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the mainland. It offers a great perspective of the Appalachian mountain ridges and the vast Everglades wetlands just before landing. This side also avoids direct morning glare, making it more comfortable for early departures.
