Lake Superior Coast
Breathtaking views of the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area and its deep blue horizon.
Lake Winnebago
A massive inland lake in Eastern Wisconsin that serves as a major visual waypoint for pilots.
Chicago Skyline
An unbeatable view of the Willis Tower, Hancock Building, and Navy Pier as the plane banks over the lake for arrival.
O'Hare Layout
A top-down perspective of one of the world's busiest airports, including its complex runway intersections.
The right side is essential for the 'Chicago view.' Request a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the skyline. Late afternoon flights are best, as the setting sun illuminates the skyscrapers and reflects off Lake Michigan.

Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the rugged, hilly terrain of the Duluth hillside upon departure. This side is generally better during mid-day flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare coming through the right-side windows.
