Which side of the plane to sit from North Central West Virginia Airport (Clarksburg) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Appalachian mountain ridges during departure and a stunning perspective of Central Florida's 'Land of Lakes' during the descent into Sanford.
Monongahela Forest
Immediately after takeoff from CKB, enjoy the dense, rugged canopy of West Virginia's premier national forest.
Smoky Mountain Distances
Vistas of the western Appalachian peaks and the haze of the Great Smoky Mountains in the distance.
Lake Marion & Moultrie
The massive reservoirs of South Carolina provide a distinct geographic landmark during the middle of the route.
Orlando Skyline
As the plane banks for its final approach, the skyscrapers of downtown Orlando are often visible in the distance.
Florida Lake District
A spectacular final view of the hundreds of small, circular lakes surrounding the Sanford area.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Appalachian ridges. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight; the patchwork of Florida's lakes provides some of the best aerial photography opportunities in the region.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Aerial views of the rolling eastern ridges of the Appalachian chain throughout Virginia and North Carolina.
Raleigh-Durham Sprawl
The expanding urban footprint of the Research Triangle is often visible to the east mid-flight.
Atlantic Coastline
On clear days, the distant blue line of the Atlantic Ocean and the Carolina coast can be seen on the horizon.
St. Johns River
The massive, winding river system that defines Northeast Florida becomes prominent during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Atlantic horizon. During the final approach into SFB, you may catch a glimpse of the Space Coast and Cape Canaveral far to the southeast if the sky is clear.
