Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally preferred as it offers a superior perspective of the Mississippi River crossing at Memphis and the most dramatic ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Mississippi River

The massive, winding artery of America seen near the Memphis crossing point.

🏙️

Memphis Waterfront

View of the iconic Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid and the historic riverfront district.

🏞️

Great Smoky Mountains

Stunning vistas of the mist-covered peaks in the most visited national park in the USA.

🛣️

Blue Ridge Parkway

The scenic ribbon of road winding through the high elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

🏙️

Little Rock Skyline

Early flight views of the Arkansas State Capitol and the Arkansas River bridges.

The right side is the star for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular 'golden hour' lighting over the Smokies. Aim for a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of the Mississippi River. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes before landing for the most prominent mountain views.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌳

Ozark National Forest

Dense, rolling green canopy and rugged terrain across northern Arkansas.

🏙️

Nashville Skyline

A clear view of the 'Music City' skyscrapers and the winding Cumberland River.

⛰️

Cumberland Plateau

Dramatic sandstone cliffs and deep gorges marking the transition into the Appalachian region.

🐎

Kentucky Borderlands

Views of the lush pastures and rolling hills along the Tennessee-Kentucky state line.

Sit on this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for spotting the architectural layout of Nashville and the northern stretches of the Appalachian range. Look for the distinct linear ridges of the Ridge-and-Valley province as you approach North Carolina.
