Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the United States' Eastern Seaboard, including the iconic Outer Banks and the Florida coastline, before providing a direct view of Freeport's shoreline during the landing sequence.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏛️

Mid-Atlantic Coast

Distant views of the Potomac River mouth and the historical Virginia coastline as the flight heads south.

🏖️

Outer Banks

The iconic, thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands, including the distinctive hook of Cape Hatteras.

🚀

Florida Space Coast

Depending on the flight path's proximity to the coast, you may see the Kennedy Space Center launch pads near Cape Canaveral.

⚓

Freeport Harbor

A clear view of the Lucayan National Park and the industrial harbor of Freeport as the plane banks toward the runway.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid glare and witness a beautiful sunset over the Florida coast. This side generally offers more land-based landmarks throughout the flight. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the barrier islands isn't obstructed.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Chesapeake Bay

Aerial views of the massive Bay Bridge and the sprawling wetlands of the Maryland Eastern Shore shortly after takeoff.

🚢

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and international shipping lanes heading toward major East Coast ports.

🌀

Gulf Stream Edge

The visible color transition where the dark, cold Atlantic waters meet the warm, sapphire blue of the Gulf Stream.

🏝️

Little Bahama Bank

Stunning views of the shallow, neon-turquoise waters and sandbars north of Grand Bahama Island during the descent.

For morning flights, the left side can be quite bright due to the rising sun over the Atlantic; however, it provides the best view of the 'Blue Holes' and reefs north of the island during the final approach. Keep your camera ready as you cross the 27th parallel for the water color change.
