Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Charlotte skyline upon departure, the expansive Savannah River crossing, and potential glimpses of the Gulf of Mexico and the Apalachee Bay wetlands during the final approach into Tallahassee.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Charlotte Skyline

Excellent views of the Uptown skyscrapers and Bank of America Stadium shortly after takeoff from CLT.

🌊

Lake Wylie

A massive reservoir on the border of NC and SC featuring complex shorelines and luxury waterfront homes.

💧

Savannah River

The winding natural border between South Carolina and Georgia, appearing as a silver ribbon through the pine forests.

🌳

Okefenokee Proximity

Vast stretches of swampy wetlands and dark water visible as the flight enters the Florida-Georgia border region.

🚤

St. Marks Wildlife Refuge

Dense coastal marshes and the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico visible if landing from the south.

Sit on the left for the best morning light and to avoid the direct afternoon glare. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinct change from the red clay hills of Georgia to the sandy, swampy terrain of the Florida panhandle. On a clear day, the glisten of the Gulf of Mexico is a highlight of the arrival.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🎢

Carowinds Theme Park

Visible just south of the airport, the towering rollercoasters like Fury 325 are easily identifiable.

🌲

Oconee National Forest

Expansive green canopies of central Georgia’s dense timberlands provide a scenic texture from cruising altitude.

🏙️

Macon, Georgia

The historic city of Macon and the Ocmulgee River are often visible along the western flight path.

🛶

Lake Jackson

A unique sinkhole lake located just north of Tallahassee, known for its frequent water level fluctuations.

🏛️

Tallahassee City Center

Views of the Florida State Capitol tower and the FSU campus during the banking turn for arrival at TLH.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. Look out for the red soil typical of the 'Red Hills' region as you approach Tallahassee. If the flight path takes a western loop, you will get a perfect overhead view of Florida State University’s Doak Campbell Stadium.
