Which side of the plane to sit from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte) to Pitt Greenville Airport (Greenville)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side typically offers a more dramatic view of the Charlotte skyline immediately after takeoff and a better perspective of the rolling Piedmont terrain and the Research Triangle region during the transit east.

Uptown Charlotte
Unobstructed views of the Bank of America Stadium and the city's banking district skyscrapers shortly after departure.
Lake Norman
The largest man-made body of fresh water in North Carolina is often visible to the northwest during the initial climb.
The Research Triangle
Distant views of the densely forested Raleigh-Durham area and the various university campuses as you cross central NC.
Falls Lake
A major reservoir north of Raleigh that provides a distinct geographic landmark before the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. If the flight departs to the north, you'll get an immediate look at the massive Lake Norman. Keep your eyes peeled as you cross I-95; the transition from the rolling Piedmont to the flat Coastal Plain is very noticeable from this side.

Carowinds Theme Park
If the plane departs toward the south, look for the tall rollercoasters of 'The Thrill Capital of the Southeast' on the border.
Uwharrie National Forest
Ancient, low-lying mountain ridges that appear as dense green waves south of the flight path.
Fort Liberty
Vast stretches of military training grounds and drop zones near Fayetteville can be seen on clear days.
Tar River
Watch the winding, snake-like path of the Tar River as the plane lines up for its final approach into Greenville.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers a better view of the rural agricultural heartland of North Carolina. Look for the massive industrial patches and sprawling farms that define the Inner Coastal Plain as you approach Pitt County.
