Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, and a more scenic approach over the turquoise waters of the Florida coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Aerial views of the ancient, rolling peaks of the Appalachian range shortly after crossing into North Carolina.

🌾

Georgia Lowcountry

The intricate network of salt marshes, rivers, and tidal creeks around Savannah and the Sea Islands.

🚀

Space Coast

Clear views of the Kennedy Space Center and the massive Vehicle Assembly Building near Cape Canaveral.

🏖️

Gold Coast Beaches

The white sand stretches of West Palm Beach and Boca Raton as the plane begins its final descent.

🚢

Port Everglades

A top-down view of massive cruise ships and cargo vessels docked just moments before landing.

Book a window seat on the left for morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready as you pass Central Florida; the Space Coast is a major landmark that is often clearly visible from cruising altitude.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🐎

Kentucky Bluegrass

Rolling limestone hills and world-famous horse farms immediately after taking off from Lexington.

🌲

Great Smoky Mountains

Vast stretches of dense forest and high ridges as you fly south over the Tennessee-North Carolina border.

🌊

Lake Okeechobee

The massive scale of Florida's largest freshwater lake, visible as a giant blue expanse in the center of the state.

🐊

The Everglades

The 'River of Grass' stretching toward the horizon, featuring a unique patchwork of wetlands and sawgrass.

🏙️

Fort Lauderdale Skyline

Views of the suburban sprawl and the high-rises of downtown Fort Lauderdale during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides the best perspective of the inland Florida landscape and the unique canal systems that define the suburban architecture of Broward County.
