Which side of the plane to sit from Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (Greenville) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Atlantic coastline, the mouth of the Savannah River, and the transition from the rolling Piedmont to the low-lying coastal plains.
Atlantic Coastline
Distant views of the winding coastline and barrier islands as the flight tracks south through Georgia and Florida.
Savannah River
The major waterway separating South Carolina and Georgia, featuring industrial ports and expansive marshlands.
Daytona Beach
During the descent into Sanford, catch a glimpse of the famous white sand beaches and the Atlantic horizon.
Daytona International Speedway
The massive oval of the famous racetrack is often visible on the approach into the Sanford area.
Jacksonville Metro
View the urban sprawl and the winding St. Johns River as it meets the ocean in Northern Florida.
For the most vibrant water colors, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Atlantic coast from the east. Keep an eye out for the distinct V-shape of the Daytona International Speedway as you begin your final descent; it is one of the most recognizable landmarks from the air.
Piedmont Foothills
Immediate views of the lush green rolling hills of the Upstate South Carolina region right after takeoff.
Okefenokee Swamp
Vast, dark wetlands and swampy terrain visible as the flight crosses the border from Georgia into Florida.
Lake George
One of Florida's largest freshwater lakes, characterized by its wide surface and proximity to the Ocala National Forest.
Ocala National Forest
A dense canopy of pine and scrub forest providing a deep green contrast to the surrounding developed areas.
Choose the right side for evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Florida interior. This side is also better for observing the unique 'lake country' geography of Central Florida, where thousands of small circular lakes dot the landscape just before landing at SFB.
