Which side of the plane to sit from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (Washington) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Potomac River, the coastal estuaries of the Mid-Atlantic, and the iconic Grand Strand coastline upon arrival.
DC Monuments

The Chesapeake Edge
Glimpses of the massive Chesapeake Bay and the mouths of the Rappahannock and York Rivers.
Norfolk & Naval Hubs
Aerial views of the massive shipping lanes and naval infrastructure around the Hampton Roads area.
The Grand Strand
A breathtaking view of the Atlantic coastline and the long stretch of beaches leading into Myrtle Beach.

The Pentagon
Get a clear view of the massive five-sided headquarters and Arlington National Cemetery shortly after lift-off.
Virginia Forests
Fly over the dense canopy of the Virginia and North Carolina pine forests and agricultural heartlands.
Waccamaw River
Watch the dark, tea-colored waters of the Waccamaw River snake through the landscape during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a great view of the inland geography and the numerous rivers that feed into the coastal basins.
