Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Cleveland skyline during departure and the dramatic winding curves of the Ohio River and Blennerhassett Island upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Cleveland Skyline

On departure, look back for a view of the Terminal Tower and the Lake Erie shoreline as the plane climbs.

🌊

Ohio River Bends

Witness the massive, sweeping turns of the Ohio River, which defines the border between Ohio and West Virginia.

🏝️

Blennerhassett Island

Look for this historic, palladian-mansion-topped island sitting in the middle of the Ohio River near the airport.

🚜

Ohio Farmlands

The landscape features a patchwork of agricultural fields and small farming communities characteristic of the Midwest.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to experience the orange light reflecting off the Ohio River. As the flight is short and low-altitude, ground features like the historic Blennerhassett mansion are often clearly visible if the weather is clear.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌲

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Catch a glimpse of the lush, deep green canopy and the winding Cuyahoga River just south of Cleveland.

🏙️

Akron-Canton Urban Corridor

Observe the industrial and residential sprawl of Akron and Canton as the flight tracks south-southeast.

⛰️

Appalachian Plateau

Watch the terrain transition from flat glacial plains to the rugged, rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the many small reservoirs and lakes that dot the eastern Ohio landscape, which glow beautifully during the golden hour.
