Finger Lakes Region
As the plane heads south, you can often spot the southern tips of the glacier-carved Finger Lakes in Western New York.
Susquehanna River
A prominent landmark through Pennsylvania, the wide, winding river creates a distinct silver ribbon through the terrain.
North Carolina Coastal Plain
Observe the transition from mountainous terrain to the flat, intricate patterns of agricultural fields and swamps.
The Grand Strand
The highlight of the trip is the final approach, offering a stunning panoramic view of the 60-mile stretch of white sand beaches.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views and the coastal approach. In the morning, the light reflects beautifully off the Atlantic Ocean. For the descent, watch for the Intracoastal Waterway just before you reach the coastline.
