Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, including the barrier islands of Georgia and the expansive beaches of Northeast Florida.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Lowcountry Marshes

Intricate networks of tidal creeks and marshes along the South Carolina and Georgia coastlines.

🏝️

Hilton Head Island

The distinctive boot-shaped geography of this famous resort island is often visible during the cruise.

⚓

Mayport Naval Station

Large naval vessels can often be spotted docked at the mouth of the St. Johns River near Jacksonville.

🏖️

Daytona Shoreline

A stunning perspective of the famous white sands and the Daytona Beach Main Street Pier during the descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the Piedmont forests to the coastal Sea Islands. Ensure your window is clean as the ocean reflection can be bright.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Lake Wylie

Visible immediately after takeoff, this large reservoir marks the border between North and South Carolina.

🏙️

Columbia Skyline

A distant but clear view of the South Carolina state capital's downtown area during the mid-flight transition.

🐊

St. Johns River

Watch the unique north-flowing river wind through the lush Florida landscape as you approach Daytona.

🏎️

Daytona International Speedway

The absolute highlight of the route, providing a massive bird's-eye view of the iconic race track on final approach.

The right side is mandatory for racing fans; the Daytona International Speedway is located directly adjacent to the airport and is best viewed from this side. For the best lighting on the track and inland lakes, an afternoon flight is recommended to avoid glare.
