Which side of the plane to sit from Evansville Regional Airport (Evansville) to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (Detroit)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views during the descent into Detroit, featuring the Lake Erie shoreline, the Detroit River, and the downtown skyline of both Detroit and Windsor.
Bloomington
Early in the flight, look for the limestone architecture of Indiana University's campus.
Indy Motor Speedway
The massive oval of the 'Racing Capital of the World' is often visible as you pass Indianapolis.
Western Lake Erie
As the plane descends, enjoy expansive views of the lake's western basin and various small islands.
The Canadian Border
The Detroit River becomes visible, separating the United States from Windsor, Ontario.
Detroit Skyline
A prime view of the Renaissance Center and downtown skyscrapers during the final approach pattern.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Great Lakes. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the Detroit River; if the plane approaches from the south, you will get an incredible view of the international border crossing and the Ambassador Bridge.
Wabash River
Visible shortly after departure, the meandering river marks the border area between Indiana and Illinois.
West Indianapolis
Distant views of the capital city's western suburbs and the sprawling logistics hubs near the airport.
Purdue University
On a clear day, the West Lafayette campus and Ross-Ade Stadium can be spotted to the northwest.
Midwestern Grids
High-altitude views of the perfect square-mile agricultural grid system typical of northern Indiana.
Sit on the left if you prefer afternoon flights with the sun behind you. This side is best for viewing the sunset over the rural landscape, though it misses the major water features of the Great Lakes.
