Research Triangle
Look for the urban centers of Raleigh and Durham as the flight passes over central North Carolina.
The Grand Strand
Stunning views of the 60-mile stretch of white sand beaches during the descent.
Intracoastal Waterway
The man-made canal system becomes visible just inland from the beach as you prepare for landing.
Sit on the left (port) side for the best chance to see the ocean. Morning flights may experience some glare from the sun, so polarized sunglasses are recommended. The 'Grand Strand' view is best during the final 10 minutes of the flight when the pilot aligns with the runway.
