Which side of the plane to sit from Yeager Airport (Charleston) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic New River Gorge shortly after departure, followed by the towering peaks of the Southern Appalachians and the Charlotte skyline during the mid-flight transition.
New River Gorge
A stunning view of the New River Gorge Bridge and the deep canyon shortly after departing Charleston.
Mount Rogers Area
Views of Virginia's highest peaks and the rugged terrain of the Jefferson National Forest.
Charlotte Skyline
Clear sightlines of the Uptown Charlotte skyscrapers as the flight path passes west of the city.
Lake Norman
The vast, intricate shoreline of North Carolina's largest man-made body of water.
Pee Dee River Basin
Winding dark-water rivers and cypress swamps as the plane enters the South Carolina Lowcountry.
The right side is essential for seeing the New River Gorge, which happens within the first 10-15 minutes of flight. Choose this side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Appalachian plateau while descending toward the coast.
Blue Ridge Vistas
Expansive views of the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains as the aircraft crosses into Virginia and North Carolina.
Piedmont Triad
Distances views of the Winston-Salem and Greensboro metropolitan areas in the North Carolina heartland.
Atlantic Horizon
The first glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean and the Grand Strand coastline appearing during the final descent into Myrtle Beach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be on the right side. This side provides a broader perspective of the coastal plains as you cross the Fall Line.
