Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (Latrobe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular combination of the Florida coastline, Atlantic ocean views during departure, and a scenic approach over the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania.
Atlantic Coastline
Uninterrupted views of the turquoise Florida waters and the high-rise beaches of Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton.
Port Everglades
A top-down perspective of the massive cruise ships and cargo vessels docked at one of the world's busiest ports.
Cape Canaveral
If the route tracks slightly east, you can see the distinctive launch pads and the Vehicle Assembly Building at KSC.
Potomac River
Distant but clear views of the winding river valley near the border of West Virginia and Maryland.
Laurel Ridge
Excellent close-up views of the prominent ridge line that characterizes the approach into Arnold Palmer Regional.
For the best experience, choose the right side on afternoon flights to benefit from the sun being on the opposite side, highlighting the landscape colors. Look for the massive wind turbines along the ridges of the Laurel Highlands just before landing, especially beautiful during the fall foliage season in October.
The Everglades
Expansive views of the Florida wetlands and river-of-grass ecosystems shortly after takeoff from FLL.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Sweeping vistas of the hazy blue peaks of the Appalachian range through the Carolinas and Virginia.
Monongahela Forest
The dense, rugged canopy and deep valleys of West Virginia's primary national forest area.
Greensburg Skyline
Vibrant views of the regional hub of Westmoreland County as the flight descends into Latrobe.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is better for spotting the transition from the flat coastal plains of the south into the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Watch for the 'smoke' or mist over the mountains in the early hours.
