Appalachian Mountains

Charleston Harbor
Look for the distinctive Ravenel Bridge and the historic coastal layout of Charleston, South Carolina.
Atlantic Seaboard
Continuous views of the breaking waves and barrier islands along the Georgia and Florida coasts.
Little Bahama Bank

Paradise Island

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare. This side is superior for the 'postcard' view of the Bahamian islands and reefs. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Gulf Stream for the most dramatic color changes in the water.

Florida Gold Coast
Dense urban development and high-rises stretching from Jacksonville down toward Miami.
Grand Bahama Island
