Which side of the plane to sit from Westchester County Airport (White Plains) to Southwest Florida International Airport (Fort Myers)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning panoramic view of the U.S. East Coast, transitioning from the dense urban corridor to the dramatic barrier islands of the Outer Banks and the tropical turquoise waters of the Florida coastline.

Atlantic Seaboard
Uninterrupted views of the Jersey Shore and the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean immediately after takeoff.
The Outer Banks
The famous thin ribbons of sand stretching from Virginia through North Carolina, including views of Cape Hatteras.
Lowcountry Marshes
The intricate, glowing green salt marshes of South Carolina and Georgia as the plane hugs the coast.
The Space Coast
Distant but visible views of the Kennedy Space Center and the launch pads of Cape Canaveral.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's massive 'Inland Sea' comes into view during the descent into the southwest region.
Book an afternoon flight to avoid the direct morning glare of the sun over the ocean. This side is superior for coastal geography. As you descend into RSW, watch for the shift from deep blue ocean to the shallower, sandy greens of the Florida peninsula.

Manhattan Skyline
Depending on the HPN departure corridor, catch a glimpse of the Empire State Building and the Hudson River.
Chesapeake Bay
A wide-angle view of the massive bay and the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
I-95 Corridor
The urban sprawls of Philadelphia and the outer beltways of Baltimore and Washington D.C. are visible inland.
Central Florida Lakes
Thousands of small circular lakes and the distant silhouette of Orlando's major theme park structures.
Gulf Coast Sunset
On evening flights, this side offers a front-row seat to the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico during arrival.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to witness a spectacular sunset over the Gulf as you approach Fort Myers. This side also provides better views of the dense inland forests and major Mid-Atlantic metropolitan areas.
