LBE → MYR
Which side of the plane to sit from Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (Latrobe) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the Blue Ridge Mountains' eastern slopes and a better chance to see the Atlantic coastline during the final approach into Myrtle Beach.

Laurel Highlands
Immediately after takeoff from LBE, view the lush, rolling hills and deep valleys of southwestern Pennsylvania's premier mountain range.
Blue Ridge Mountains
As you traverse Virginia, the iconic blue-tinted ridges stretch across the horizon, offering dramatic elevation changes.
Shenandoah Valley
A patchwork of historic farmlands and orchards tucked between the Appalachian ridges, visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Kerr Lake & Lake Gaston
Large, finger-like reservoirs straddling the Virginia and North Carolina border, reflecting sunlight brilliantly on clear days.
The Grand Strand
On final descent, the left side often captures the sweeping arc of the South Carolina coastline and the Atlantic Ocean.
Book an early morning flight on the left side to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic as you descend. This side is also preferred for seeing the coastline if the pilot approaches MYR from the north or over the water. Keep your camera ready for the distinct transition from the rugged Appalachians to the flat coastal plains.

Monongahela National Forest
View the rugged, high-altitude terrain of West Virginia, including some of the highest peaks in the Alleghenies.
Piedmont Urban Corridors
Spot the sprawling suburban landscapes and industrial hubs of North Carolina, potentially including the outskirts of Greensboro or Winston-Salem.
Great Pee Dee River
Watch the ancient, winding river systems carve through the dense forests of the Carolina interior.
Waccamaw Wildlife Refuge
As the plane lowers for landing, observe the vast wetlands and blackwater swamps that border Myrtle Beach to the west.
Intracoastal Waterway
The man-made canal is clearly visible just inland from the beach, marking the final stage of the approach.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. It provides a more intimate view of the river systems and the dense, swampy geography of the South Carolina lowcountry. Look for the distinct change in tree species from northern hardwoods to southern pines and cypress as you move south.
