Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

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.
