Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the white crests of the surf zone.
Outer Banks
The iconic thin strip of barrier islands in North Carolina, including Cape Hatteras and its lighthouse.
The Grand Strand
Clear views of Myrtle Beach and its dense line of coastal resorts along the South Carolina shore.
Hilton Head Island
Aerial perspective of the world-class golf courses and yacht-filled marinas of this luxury destination.
Lowcountry Wetlands
Intricate patterns of golden-green tidal marshes and winding creeks as you approach Savannah.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Atlantic. Look for the distinctive hook of the Outer Banks about halfway through the flight. On clear days, the transition from the deep blue ocean to the emerald marshlands near Savannah is breathtaking. Be aware that summer haze can occasionally obscure the horizon, so autumn and winter offer the crispest views.

Manhattan Skyline
Incredible views of the New York City skyscrapers immediately following takeoff from JFK.
Jersey Shore
A long stretch of boardwalks, piers, and famous beach towns along the New Jersey coastline.
Delaware Bay
The massive nautical gateway where the Delaware River meets the Atlantic near Cape May.
Southern Pine Forests
Expansive green canopies of the coastal plain across Virginia and the Carolinas.
Port of Savannah
A birds-eye view of the massive container ships and giant cranes at one of America's busiest ports.
The right side is superior for sunset flights as the sun dips below the mainland horizon. Immediately after takeoff from JFK, keep your camera ready for the Manhattan skyline if the wind requires a southern departure. During the final descent into SAV, the right side often gets a better view of the industrial ingenuity of the Savannah River's shipping traffic.
