Which side of the plane to sit from Rickenbacker International Airport (Columbus) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most scenic experience, offering expansive views of the Appalachian ridges and the dramatic Atlantic coastline during the final descent into Florida.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Breathtaking views of the layered blue ridges through the heart of the Appalachian range.
Atlantic Coastline
Distant views of the South Carolina and Georgia coasts as the flight moves southward.
St. Johns River
A winding view of Florida's longest river as the aircraft prepares for landing at SFB.
Space Coast Horizon
On clear days, the launch facilities of Cape Canaveral are visible to the southeast during descent.
Charleston Area
Vague outlines of the historic coastal lowcountry visible from high altitude.
Choose the left side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. Pay close attention during the last 20 minutes of flight for the best views of Florida's unique wetlands and the St. Johns River system.
Appalachian Plateau
Rugged, densely forested terrain across West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky.
Atlanta Outskirts
Distant views of the sprawling North Georgia suburbs and metro area mid-flight.
Lake Monroe
A massive lake located directly adjacent to Sanford, offering beautiful water views on final approach.
Ocala National Forest
The vast green expanse of the world's largest sand pine scrub forest as you enter Central Florida.
Florida Chain of Lakes
Countless small, circular lakes dotting the Florida landscape during the descent.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Gulf side of the peninsula. It offers a more inland view of the 'Thousand Lakes' region of Central Florida during the approach phase.
