Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a stunning continuous view of the Atlantic coastline, including the iconic Kennedy Space Center and the historic city of St. Augustine.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Enjoy miles of turquoise water, white sand beaches, and the crashing surf of the Florida coast.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

The absolute highlight; look for the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads at Cape Canaveral.

🏎️

Daytona Beach

Identify the wide, driveable beaches and the massive oval of the Daytona International Speedway near the shore.

🏰

St. Augustine

Spot the Castillo de San Marcos and the historic architecture of the nation's oldest city as you near JAX.

🏝️

Barrier Islands

Observe the intricate network of lagoons, mangroves, and residential islands along the Intracoastal Waterway.

The right side is the 'ocean side.' For the best lighting, choose this side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the plane. If there is a rocket launch scheduled from Cape Canaveral during your flight time, this side provides a front-row seat to the ascent.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏙️

South Florida Sprawl

View the dense, grid-like urban layout of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach immediately after takeoff.

🐊

Everglades Edge

Catch glimpses of the massive wetlands to the west as the plane gains altitude and heads north.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

On clear days, the vast expanse of Florida's largest freshwater lake is visible in the distance to the west.

🎢

Orlando Skyline

Spot the distant high-rises and theme park structures of the Orlando area as you pass central Florida.

🚤

St. Johns River

Watch the wide, winding St. Johns River snake through the landscape as the flight approaches Jacksonville.

Sit on the left for better views of the sunset during evening flights. This side is also preferable if you want to avoid the direct morning glare when flying north. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from urban development to the lush, green interior of the state.
