FLLBUF

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Appalachian mountain ranges, the Florida Everglades on departure, and better sunset views for evening flights.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🐊

Florida Everglades

Panoramic views of the vast river of grass and unique wetland ecosystems shortly after takeoff from FLL.

🏔️

Blue Ridge Mountains

The rolling, misty peaks of the southern Appalachians through North Carolina and Virginia.

🏙️

Charlotte Skyline

Often visible as a major landmark along the inland flight corridor through the Carolinas.

🌊

Lake Erie Shoreline

Dramatic views of the Great Lake's southern coast during the descent into Western New York.

🌇

Sunset Horizon

Optimal positioning for sunset colors over the inland United States on afternoon and evening flights.

Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective. During the first 15 minutes, look for the sprawl of the Everglades. Mid-flight, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct ridges of the Appalachian trail. If landing from the west, this side provides the best view of downtown Buffalo and the waterfront.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Atlantic Coastline

Sparkling views of the Florida Gold Coast and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic during initial climb.

🏝️

Lowcountry Barrier Islands

Intricate marshlands and barrier islands of the South Carolina and Georgia coasts.

🌲

Allegheny Plateau

Dense forest canopies and deep river valleys as you cross through Pennsylvania.

🌊

Niagara River

The powerful river corridor flowing toward the falls, visible just before touchdown at BUF.

Choose an 'F' seat for morning departures to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. While this side doesn't always see the falls themselves, you will see the mist rising from Niagara Falls in the distance if the weather is clear and the approach path tracks east of the airport.
