FLL → CVG
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (Cincinnati)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more diverse geographic display, featuring the unique wetlands of the Everglades, the vastness of Lake Okeechobee, and superior views of the Appalachian mountain ridges during the mid-flight transition.
Everglades National Park
Aerial view of the 'River of Grass' and complex canal systems immediately following departure from FLL.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's largest freshwater lake appears as a massive, circular blue horizon to the west of the flight path.
Great Smoky Mountains
Dramatic views of the hazy, rolling peaks as the aircraft crosses over the Tennessee and North Carolina border region.
Kentucky Bluegrass Region
Lush green rolling hills and patchwork farmland that define the approach into the Northern Kentucky area.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Watch for the distinctive shape of Lake Okeechobee about 15-20 minutes after takeoff. During the descent into CVG, the left side frequently captures the winding Ohio River valley and the rural beauty of the Kentucky landscape.
Florida Gold Coast
Bird's-eye view of the high-rise skylines and sandy beaches of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach during initial climb.
Space Coast
On clear days, the launch pads of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral are visible along the distant Atlantic coastline.
Downtown Cincinnati
If the aircraft approaches CVG from the north or performs a loop, the right side provides the best view of the Queen City skyline.
Ohio River Bend
Excellent views of the industrial and scenic bends of the Ohio River separating Kentucky from Ohio during final approach.
Select the right side for sunset flights to enjoy the glow over the interior landscape. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight; if the pilot utilizes runways 18L or 18C, you may get a spectacular panoramic view of the Cincinnati skyline and the various bridges crossing the Ohio River.
