Appalachian Ridges
Aerial views of the rolling green ridges and valleys of the southern Appalachian mountain range.
Kennedy Space Center
Potential distant views of the launch pads and VAB near Cape Canaveral during the descent.
Gold Coast Beaches
Stunning views of the Atlantic shoreline stretching from Jupiter down to Fort Lauderdale.
Miami Beach
The iconic skyline of South Beach and the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay on final approach.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views during morning departures. As you approach South Florida, the plane often tracks just inland of the coast, giving you a front-row seat to the turquoise Atlantic. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Space Coast launch pads.

Ohio River
A great look at the winding Ohio River and the Cincinnati suburbs immediately after takeoff.
Lake Okeechobee
Massive views of Florida's largest freshwater lake, often appearing as an inland sea.
The Everglades
The vast, unique 'River of Grass' ecosystem stretching toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Downtown Miami
Spectacular views of the Brickell and Downtown skyscrapers if landing from the West.
Choose the right side for spectacular sunset views on late afternoon flights. This side is excellent for observing the unique hydrology of Lake Okeechobee and the vastness of the Everglades. If the flight pattern requires a loop over the Everglades to land toward the East, the right side provides the best view of the downtown Miami skyline.
