Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for its unparalleled views of the Florida coastline, the Kennedy Space Center launch pads, and the potential for a spectacular aerial sweep over Lake Erie upon arrival in Cleveland.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Follow the gold-sand beaches and turquoise waters from Fort Lauderdale up through the Treasure Coast.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Clear views of the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads at Cape Canaveral.

🏝️

Sea Islands

The intricate network of barrier islands and marshes along the Georgia and South Carolina coast.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Vibrant green slopes and hazy blue peaks as the flight path crosses the eastern Appalachian range.

🏙️

Downtown Cleveland

Depending on the wind, a right-side seat often provides a panoramic view of the skyline and Progressive Field.

⛵

Lake Erie

The vast, ocean-like horizon of the Great Lake becomes visible during the northern approach.

The right side is a must for space enthusiasts; look for Cape Canaveral approximately 30 minutes after takeoff. For the best lighting on the coastal scenery, book a morning flight. During the landing phase, if the plane approaches from the north, you will get a world-class view of the Cleveland waterfront and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🐊

Everglades Border

View the eastern edge of the vast river of grass and the suburban expansion of South Florida.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

The largest freshwater lake in Florida is often visible as a massive blue expanse to the west.

🍑

Piedmont Plateau

Rolling hills and dense forest canopies across Georgia and the Carolinas.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

The distinct, folded mountain ridges of West Virginia provide a rugged topographic display.

🏭

Ohio River Valley

The winding Ohio River marks the transition into the industrial heartland and the final leg of the journey.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers the best views of the Appalachian mountain folds and the rural landscapes of West Virginia. Keep an eye out for the Cuyahoga Valley National Park just before the final descent into CLE.
