Ohio River
Expansive views of the river valley winding through the Cincinnati metro area immediately after takeoff.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Stunning aerial perspectives of the dense forest canopies and ridgelines of the Appalachian range.
Charlotte Skyline
A clear view of the dense skyscrapers of Uptown Charlotte and the massive hub airport below.
St. Johns River
The iconic north-flowing river appearing as a dark, winding ribbon as you descend into Northern Florida.
Atlantic Coastline
Distant but beautiful views of the Florida barrier islands and the Atlantic horizon on clear days.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun on the opposite side. This side is particularly spectacular during the autumn months when the Appalachian foliage changes color. Pay close attention during the final 20 minutes of the flight for the intricate canal systems of Central Florida.
