Cleveland Skyline
Aerial views of downtown Cleveland and Progressive Field shortly after takeoff.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Scenic vistas of the rolling Appalachian ridges through Virginia and North Carolina.

Port of Miami

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is especially rewarding if the aircraft performs a 'downwind' leg over the ocean before turning back west to land, as it provides a front-row seat to the downtown Miami skyline and the vibrant blue waters of Biscayne Bay.

Lake Okeechobee

The Everglades
The unique 'River of Grass' wetland ecosystem stretching to the horizon.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. It offers a spectacular view of the sun setting over the Everglades if your flight arrives in the early evening. This side provides a more nature-focused view of Florida's unique interior geography compared to the urban focus of the left side.
