Which side of the plane to sit from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (Washington) to Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the iconic 'River Visual' perspective of the National Mall and monuments upon departure, followed by stunning views of the Allegheny Mountains and the Little Rock skyline on approach.
National Mall
Unmatched views of the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and U.S. Capitol Building during the initial climb.
Potomac River
Follow the winding path of the Potomac as the aircraft heads southwest toward the mountains.
Allegheny Mountains
The dramatic linear ridges of the central Appalachians providing high-contrast terrain patterns.
Downtown Little Rock
Clear views of the Arkansas River and the capital city's skyline as the plane descends into Adams Field.
The right side is essential for the best DC views. Request a window seat early as these fill up fast. For sunset flights, the right side will catch the direct golden hour light over the Arkansas landscape, making for spectacular arrival photos.
The Pentagon
Immediate views of the world's largest office building and the Arlington area shortly after takeoff.
Shenandoah National Park
The rolling green peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains stretching across the Virginia landscape.
Appalachian Plateau
Dense forest cover and rugged ridges as the flight crosses into West Virginia and Kentucky.
Mississippi River
A grand view of the massive waterway and its surrounding floodplains near the Tennessee-Arkansas border.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Mississippi River crossing. If flying in the morning, the left side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography of the Appalachian ridges without glare.
