Which side of the plane to sit from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte) to Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers prime views of the rugged Great Smoky Mountains and the urban landscape of Nashville during the transit west.
Blue Ridge Mountains
The first major geographic feature after departure, showcasing the deep blue hues of the Appalachian chain.
Great Smoky Mountains
Expansive views of the high peaks and dense forest canopies of the most visited national park in the US.
Nashville Metro Area
Aerial perspective of the Music City, including the Cumberland River and the sprawling urban layout.
Mississippi River Meanders
The state border is defined by the massive, winding river featuring several oxbow lakes and sandbars.
Arkansas River
The final approach follows the path of the Arkansas River as it flows toward the Little Rock city center.
Choose a morning flight to see the mist rising over the Great Smoky Mountains. This side avoids direct sun glare for most of the westward journey, making it easier to photograph the Mississippi River oxbow lakes near the Tennessee-Arkansas border.
Lake Wylie
Visible immediately after takeoff from CLT, providing a shimmering view of the Catawba River reservoir.
Tennessee River Bends
Dramatic curves of the Tennessee River as it snakes through the northern borders of Alabama and Mississippi.
Memphis Skyline
Look south to spot the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid and the downtown Memphis riverfront.
Arkansas Delta
Intricate patterns of rice and soybean fields with silver-threaded irrigation canals leading into Little Rock.
Sit behind the wing for the best view of the Mississippi River crossing. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or keep the window shade partially down to manage glare while spotting Memphis.
