Chesapeake Bay
Aerial views of the massive estuary and the sprawling Bay Bridge-Tunnel shortly after takeoff.
Outer Banks
The iconic thin barrier islands of North Carolina, featuring Cape Hatteras and expansive sand dunes.
Charleston Harbor
Historic South Carolina coastline with views of the Cooper River and the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
Kennedy Space Center
Clear views of the Vehicle Assembly Building and various launch pads along the Cape Canaveral coast.
Florida Gold Coast
Vibrant turquoise waters and miles of continuous high-rise beaches from Palm Beach down to Fort Lauderdale.
Book a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the coast. Morning flights are ideal as the sun rises over the Atlantic, illuminating the shoreline, while afternoon flights may have glare. Keep a lookout for the Space Coast roughly 40-50 minutes before landing.

DC Perimeter
Distant views of the Potomac River and the outskirts of the National Capital Region during departure.
Piedmont Forests
Dense green canopies and rolling hills throughout the inland Carolinas and Georgia.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's massive inland 'inland sea' is often visible on the descent into Miami.
The Everglades
The unique 'River of Grass' ecosystem and vast wetlands during the final approach pattern.
Miami Suburbs
The intricate geometric canal systems and residential grids typical of South Florida urban planning.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun hitting the window. On landing, if the aircraft approaches from the west (runway 9L or 8R), you will get an excellent view of the Everglades and the massive suburban sprawl of the Miami metro area.
