DUJ → CLE
Which side of the plane to sit from DuBois Regional Airport (Du Bois) to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (Cleveland)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Lake Erie shoreline and an iconic view of the Cleveland skyline and lakefront stadiums during the final approach into CLE.
Allegheny Forest Edge
Glances toward the southern reaches of the Allegheny National Forest, showing vast expanses of wilderness.
Lake Erie Shoreline
As the flight approaches Cleveland, the vast blue horizon of the Great Lake becomes the primary backdrop.
Cleveland Skyline
Unobstructed views of the Terminal Tower, Key Tower, and the downtown core during the descent.
Lakefront Landmarks
Spot the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Browns Stadium situated right on the water's edge.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic entry into Cleveland. If the plane lands toward the West (Runway 24), you will see the city skyline and the Lake Erie coast clearly. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the city buildings and the water for photos.
Appalachian Plateau
Aerial views of the rolling hills and dense deciduous forests of Western Pennsylvania shortly after takeoff.
Youngstown Metro
The industrial landscape and urban sprawl of the Mahoning Valley visible as you cross the Ohio border.
Cuyahoga Valley
The southern outskirts of Cleveland featuring the winding Cuyahoga River and the lush greenery of the National Park.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. Watch for the intricate patterns of Pennsylvania's coal country and rural farmlands. During the winter, this side offers great views of snow-covered ridges in the Allegheny foothills.
