Which side of the plane to sit from Keflavik International Airport (Keflavik) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular opportunities to view the icy landscapes of Greenland and the rugged Canadian coast before descending into Florida.
Reykjanes Peninsula
Dramatic volcanic landscapes and steam from geothermal sites visible immediately after takeoff.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Breathtaking views of the southern tip of Greenland, featuring glaciers, fjords, and ice-choked bays.
Maritime Canada
The dense forests and rocky inlets of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia's wild interior.
US Northeast Corridor
Distant views of the densely populated urban areas stretching from Boston toward the Mid-Atlantic.
St. Johns River
The wide, dark waters of Florida's longest river winding through the landscape during descent.
The right side is the Greenland side. Ensure you have a clear window seat for the first 2-3 hours of the flight to maximize your chances of seeing the Arctic ice. If flying during the winter, this side offers the best chance to see the Northern Lights during the initial leg.
Iceberg Alley
Spot massive icebergs drifting south off the coast of Newfoundland during spring months.
The Outer Banks
Clear views of the thin, sandy barrier islands stretching along the North Carolina coast.
The Gulf Stream
Notice the deep blue transition of the warm Atlantic current as you parallel the US East Coast.
Jacksonville Skyline
Aerial view of the sprawling river city as the flight crosses into Florida airspace.
Intracoastal Waterway
The complex system of canals and inlets running along the Florida shoreline.
Sit on the left for better views of the Atlantic coastline and to avoid the harshest direct sunlight during the mid-portion of the flight. This side is excellent for spotting coastal geography and the thin barrier islands of the Carolinas.
