FLLCMH

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for its unparalleled views of the Florida Atlantic coastline, the Cape Canaveral space facilities, and the scenic approach over the Scioto River into Columbus.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Sweeping views of the Atlantic beaches and the Intracoastal Waterway immediately after takeoff.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Spot the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads along the Cape Canaveral shore.

🌊

Georgia Lowcountry

Intricate salt marshes and river deltas near Savannah and the Sea Islands.

🌲

Appalachian Ridges

Dense green forests and rolling ridges of the West Virginia highlands.

🏙️

Downtown Columbus

Excellent views of the Ohio Statehouse and the Scioto Mile during the final descent into CMH.

Book the right side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 20 minutes after takeoff for the Cape Canaveral launch complexes. During winter months, the right side provides the best lighting for photographing the snowy ridges of West Virginia.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🐊

The Everglades

The vast 'River of Grass' stretches toward the Gulf of Mexico shortly after departure.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

Florida's 'Inland Sea' is a massive, unmistakable landmark visible on the left early in the flight.

🎢

Central Florida

Distant views of the Orlando skyline and the expansive theme park regions.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Iconic layered mountain ranges visible as the flight traverses the Carolinas and Virginia.

🛶

Ohio River

Crossing the winding liquid border between Kentucky and Ohio near the Huntington area.

Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Appalachian range. This side also offers a better view of the massive sugar cane fields and agricultural grids south of Lake Okeechobee during the first 15 minutes of flight.
