Lake Erie Horizon
Expansive views of the Great Lake appearing on the horizon as you cross into Ohio.
Ashtabula Harbor
Industrial shipping ports and historic lighthouses dotting the coastline.
Downtown Cleveland
A clear view of the Terminal Tower, Key Tower, and Progressive Field during the descent.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
The distinct glass pyramid shape is often visible along the lakefront near the end of the flight.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Request a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine obstruction of the Lake Erie coastline. On the final approach into CLE, keep your camera ready for the downtown skyline, which usually appears prominently out of the right-hand windows if landing from the east.

Allegheny Plateau
Dense forest coverage and rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania immediately after takeoff.
Shenango River Lake
A glimpse of the sprawling reservoir system near the Pennsylvania-Ohio border.
Cuyahoga Valley

Sit on the left if you prefer rural landscapes and forest views. For evening flights, this side catches the warm glow of the setting sun over the Ohio farmlands. Watch for the transition from the rugged Allegheny terrain to the flatter, grid-patterned fields of eastern Ohio.
