FLLIND

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular departure over the Florida coastline and the Atlantic Ocean, followed by scenic views of the Appalachian foothills and the Space Coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Stunning views of the Atlantic beaches and the high-rise skyline of Fort Lauderdale during the initial climb.

🚀

The Space Coast

On clear days, you can spot the Kennedy Space Center and the unique geography of the Indian River Lagoon.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridgelines

As the flight moves north, catch the ancient, forested ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains to the east.

🌽

Midwest Farmland

The landscape transforms into the precise, geometric patterns of Indiana's agricultural heartland during descent.

The right side is the winner for the departure phase out of FLL, especially if the plane banks over the ocean. It is also the best side for spotting the transition from the coastal plains to the Appalachian highlands. Be mindful of direct morning sun which can be intense on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🐊

The Everglades

Visible immediately after takeoff, the vast 'River of Grass' stretches toward the western horizon.

🏰

Central Florida Lakes

View the thousands of circular lakes near Orlando and the distant sprawl of major theme park resorts.

🍑

Atlanta Metro

Depending on the specific airway, the dense urban canopy and skyscrapers of Atlanta are often visible.

🐎

Kentucky Bluegrass

Rolling hills and horse farms create a patchwork quilt of deep greens as you cross into the Ohio Valley.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the best view of the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico if flying in the late evening, and offers a clear look at the sprawling wetlands of South Florida.
