FWA → MYR
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Wayne International Airport (Fort Wayne) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Appalachian mountain ridges during the mid-flight segment and provides a stunning reveal of the Atlantic coastline as the aircraft approaches the Grand Strand.
Appalachian Ridges
Stunning views of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains with their characteristic parallel ridge-and-valley formations.
Roanoke Valley
Aerial perspective of the 'Star City' nestled within the mountains of southwestern Virginia.
Piedmont Plateau
A transition from rugged mountains to the rolling hills and dense forests of central North Carolina.
The Atlantic Ocean
As the plane descends, the vast blue horizon of the Atlantic becomes the dominant feature.
North Myrtle Beach
Clear views of the coastline and the long stretch of sandy beaches just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sun illuminating the mountain peaks. This side is also preferred for the final approach into MYR, as you will likely see the coastline and the bustling beach resorts before the final turn toward the runway.
Ohio River Basin
Early in the flight, catch views of the winding river systems that define the border between Ohio and Kentucky.
Charlotte Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the 'Queen City' may be visible on the western horizon.
Waccamaw River
Deeply forested wetlands and the dark, winding waters of the Waccamaw River during the final descent.
Grand Strand Golf Courses
A bird's-eye view of the numerous lush, green golf courses that the Myrtle Beach area is famous for.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers a great perspective of the Intercoastal Waterway and the sprawling inland wetlands of South Carolina just minutes before landing. Watch for the transition from the red clay of the Piedmont to the sandy soil of the Coastal Plain.
