FLL → BNA
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Nashville International Airport (Nashville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior departure experience with stunning views of the Atlantic coastline and Port Everglades, followed by a scenic approach over Middle Tennessee's lush lakes.
Atlantic Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Florida coast, white sand beaches, and the Atlantic horizon.
Port Everglades
One of the world's busiest cruise ports, visible immediately after takeoff with massive ships in dock.
Space Coast
Distant views of the Kennedy Space Center and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Chattahoochee Forest
Dense, rolling green canopies of Northern Georgia as you cross toward the Tennessee border.
Percy Priest Lake
The large, jagged reservoir just east of Nashville that often signals the final approach into BNA.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Beach to City' transition. For morning flights, this side will be very bright, so bring sunglasses. On the descent into Nashville, this side typically offers a better view of the lakes and the rolling hills of the Nashville Basin. Watch for the Stones River during the final minutes of flight.
The Everglades
A vast expanse of Sawgrass marshes and wetlands stretching west from the Fort Lauderdale suburbs.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's massive inland sea, clearly visible as a giant blue circle in the center of the state.
Orlando Area
On clear days, the clusters of theme parks and resort towers are visible from cruising altitude.
Cumberland Plateau
The rugged, elevated terrain that marks the transition into the southern Appalachian region.
Huntsville Area
Depending on the specific flight corridor, you may spot the urban sprawl and aerospace hubs of Northern Alabama.
The left side is ideal for sunset flights to witness the sky change colors over the Gulf of Mexico in the distance. During mid-day, use the window shade as the sun will be direct for the first half of the journey. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive grid patterns of Central Florida's agricultural lands.
