Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, including the Florida beaches, the Kennedy Space Center region, and the scenic barrier islands of Georgia and South Carolina.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Florida's Gold Coast

Immediately after takeoff, enjoy stunning views of the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood beachfronts.

🚀

Space Coast

Look for the Kennedy Space Center and the distinctive coastline of Cape Canaveral about 30 minutes into the flight.

⚓

St. Johns River

The winding river and industrial port of Jacksonville are prominent features as you cross the Georgia border.

🏝️

Georgia Barrier Islands

Beautiful views of Cumberland, Jekyll, and St. Simons islands with their complex salt marsh ecosystems.

⛵

Charleston Harbor

On clear days, you can spot the Ravenel Bridge and the historic peninsula of Charleston, South Carolina.

Sit on the right side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side provides the most consistent scenic landmarks, particularly the transition from white sandy beaches to the marshy 'Lowcountry' of the Carolinas. Keep your window shade open during the first 45 minutes for the best coastal photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🐊

Everglades Sprawl

Aerial views of the massive wetlands and sawgrass marshes stretching west from the Florida coast.

🌊

Lake Okeechobee

Florida's largest freshwater lake is often visible as the flight tracks northwest toward the interior.

🎢

Central Florida Lakes

A dense concentration of small lakes and the distant sprawl of the Orlando metropolitan area.

🌲

Piedmont Plateau

The transition from coastal plains to the rolling, forested hills of the South Carolina interior.

🏙️

Uptown Charlotte

If the plane approaches CLT from the south on certain flight paths, you can see the city's banking towers.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to avoid the intense morning sun and enjoy a golden hour glow over the Piedmont. This side is also best for seeing the NASCAR Hall of Fame and the Bank of America Stadium if the pilot uses an approach path that loops south of the city.
