Lake Erie Shoreline
Expansive views of the Great Lake's southern coast, showing the contrast between the industrial waterfront and the open water.
Cleveland Skyline
Clear sightlines of the Key Tower, Terminal Tower, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the initial climb.
Progressive Field
Excellent top-down view of the Cleveland Guardians' stadium and the adjacent Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Pymatuning Reservoir
A massive 17,000-acre reservoir straddling the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, known for its distinct causeway.
Conneaut Lake
A natural glacier lake in Pennsylvania, visible just before the descent into the Franklin area.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Cleveland skyline. Early morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun rises over the Allegheny Plateau to the east, illuminating the lake shore. In winter, look for the 'lake effect' snow belts and ice sheets forming near the harbor.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Dense forest canopies and the winding Cuyahoga River valley south of the Cleveland suburban sprawl.
Shenango River Lake
A large flood-control reservoir surrounded by wooded recreation areas in western Pennsylvania.
Allegheny Plateau
The transition from flat Ohio farmland to the rolling, unglaciated hills of the Appalachian foothills.
Norfolk Southern Rail Lines
Busy freight corridors carving through the landscape, showing the industrial pulse of the Rust Belt.
Choose the right side during autumn (late October) to witness the spectacular fall foliage of the Cuyahoga Valley and the Pennsylvania highlands. This side is generally quieter with less glare during afternoon flights as the sun is positioned to the south and west.
