Which side of the plane to sit from Daytona Beach International Airport (Daytona Beach) to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the beautiful Atlantic coastline and the intricate marshlands of the Georgia and South Carolina Lowcountry.
Atlantic Coastline
Panoramic views of the Florida beaches and the crashing surf shortly after takeoff.
St. Johns River
The wide, winding river and the sprawling bridges of Jacksonville's skyline.
Lowcountry Marshes
A stunning, intricate labyrinth of tidal creeks and emerald marshes near Brunswick and Savannah.
Golden Isles
Beautiful barrier islands including Jekyll, St. Simons, and Sea Island visible along the coast.
Charleston Harbor
The iconic Ravenel Bridge and the historic Battery visible in the distance during the mid-flight segment.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Be sure to look down early in the flight for the transition from sandy beaches to the complex marsh systems of Georgia, which are most vibrant during the spring and summer months.
Ocala National Forest
Lush green pine flatwoods and cypress swamps visible shortly after departure from Daytona.
Savannah Riverfront
The historic grid of Savannah and the industrial activity along the river are visible during the cruise.
Lake Murray
A massive reservoir in South Carolina with a highly irregular and scenic shoreline.
Charlotte Suburban Sprawl
Dense residential areas and sports complexes as the plane aligns for its final approach.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the setting sun illuminating the inland forests without harsh glare. This side is also excellent for seeing the historic city layout of Savannah as you cross the Georgia border.
