EVV → ORD
Which side of the plane to sit from Evansville Regional Airport (Evansville) to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (Chicago)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Lake Michigan shoreline and the iconic Chicago skyline during the standard arrival patterns into O'Hare.
Indiana Wind Farms
Vast arrays of wind turbines near the Benton County area, visible as white spinning dots across the plains.
Indiana Dunes
The transition from the industrial shoreline to the natural sand dunes at the southern tip of Lake Michigan.
Chicago Loop
Breathtaking views of the Willis Tower and the dense skyscraper cluster of downtown Chicago during the descent.
Gary Steel Mills
Massive industrial complexes and shipping docks along the lakefront that highlight the region's history.
Sit on the right for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off Lake Michigan. Keep your window shade up as you descend; air traffic control often routes flights east of the city before turning back toward O'Hare, giving right-side passengers a front-row seat to the skyline.
Wabash River
The winding river that defines the border between Indiana and Illinois shortly after takeoff.
Illinois Prairie
Expansive views of the agricultural heartland with its distinct geometric grid system.
Fox River Valley
Scenic suburban landscapes and river towns visible if the flight patterns approach from the west.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to witness the sunset over the flat Midwestern horizon. This side also provides a great view of the airport infrastructure when landing on certain western runways.
