Which side of the plane to sit from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (Detroit) to Evansville Regional Airport (Evansville)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic vantage point of the Detroit River and Lake Erie coastline immediately after takeoff, followed by clear views of Cincinnati and the rolling hills of the Kentucky Bluegrass region.
Lake Erie Shoreline
Dramatic views of the Detroit River merging into the western basin of Lake Erie shortly after departure.
Cincinnati Skyline
Excellent views of the Queen City's downtown skyscrapers and the historic bridges crossing the Ohio River.
Kentucky Bluegrass Region
The lush, rolling green pastures and sprawling horse farms characteristic of northern and central Kentucky.
Williamstown Lake
A prominent blue reservoir nestled in the hills of northern Kentucky, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding greenery.
For the best experience, book a seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. Morning flights offer the best illumination for the Cincinnati skyline and the river features. If flying in autumn, the left side provides the best views of the changing foliage in the Kentucky hills.
Toledo Industrial Port
Views of the Maumee River mouth and the heavy industrial shipping infrastructure of northern Ohio.
Midwestern Grid
The mesmerizing geometric patterns of Indiana's agricultural heartland, stretching toward the horizon.
Louisville Metro Area
Distant views of the home of the Kentucky Derby and the urban sprawl of the Falls of the Ohio.
Ohio River Oxbows
As you descend into Evansville, watch for the dramatic loops and curves of the Ohio River valley.
The right side is perfect for evening flights to catch the sunset over the vast Indiana plains. During the winter, the frozen river tributaries and snowy fields create a striking white landscape. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the sharp turns of the river near the airport.
