Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is favored for its combination of the Atlantic shoreline at departure and the iconic Lake Michigan coastline during the approach into Milwaukee.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Watch the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of South Florida fade into the deep blue ocean.

🛳️

Port Everglades

An aerial view of one of the world's busiest cruise ports with massive ships docked below.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

As you head north, the terrain transitions into the rolling green hills and ridges of the Appalachian chain.

🏙️

Milwaukee Waterfront

The best seat for seeing the Milwaukee Art Museum and the city's lakefront during the final approach.

The right side is essential for the scenic 'lake approach' into MKE. During winter months, look for ice formations on Lake Michigan which create stunning white geometric patterns from above.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏙️

Fort Lauderdale Skyline

View the dense high-rises and inland waterways of the city immediately after takeoff.

🐊

Everglades Perimeter

Witness the vast, grassy wetlands of the Florida Everglades stretching toward the western horizon.

🏎️

Indianapolis Hub

Catch a glimpse of the 'Crossroads of America' and the famous motor speedway if the flight path tracks west.

🌽

Midwestern Grids

Observe the perfectly square agricultural plots that define the landscape of Indiana and Illinois.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun. On clear days, you may see the distant skyline of Chicago as the plane begins its descent into the Wisconsin region.
