Which side of the plane to sit from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte) to Augusta Regional At Bush Field (Bush Field)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the sprawling Lake Wylie and the unique equestrian landscapes of Aiken, South Carolina during the descent.
Lake Wylie
Witness the extensive shoreline and recreational boating of this large reservoir just south of the Charlotte airport.
Rock Hill Skyline
A clear view of the urban development and the Winthrop University campus in this bustling Piedmont city.
Aiken Equestrian Estates
Look for the iconic oval training tracks and large green pastures that define South Carolina's historic horse country.
Sit on the left for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly scenic during the fall when the hardwoods around Lake Wylie and Aiken change color. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best reservoir views.
Catawba River Valley
Follow the serpentine route of the river as it forms the natural boundary between local counties south of Charlotte.
Sumter National Forest
Gaze out over the vast, dense pine and hardwood forests of the Enoree Ranger District to the west.
Phinizy Swamp
On final approach, view the wetlands and diverse ecosystems of this nature park near the Savannah River.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the South Carolina wilderness. Watch for the Savannah River bridge crossings as you enter Georgia airspace just minutes before landing at Bush Field.
