Passengers on the right side can enjoy views of the sprawling airport terminal complex followed by a distant panorama of the Detroit skyline and Lake Erie.
The left side offers superior views of the Lake Erie shoreline, the Detroit River, and the transition from the industrial Great Lakes region into the Ohio river valley.
The left side provides the most distinct landmarks, notably the University of Michigan's massive stadium and the historic industrial cities along the southern Michigan corridor.
The right side offers superior urban views shortly after departure from Detroit, including potential glimpses of Ann Arbor, and provides the best perspective of the Illinois River valley and downtown Peoria during the final approach.
