Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular coastal views of the Florida peninsula, the NASA launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, and the best angle for the Charlotte skyline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Bahama Banks

Vibrant turquoise water and coral reefs if the flight path tracks slightly east of the Florida coast.

🏙️

Miami & Gold Coast

The iconic skyline of Miami Beach and the dense urban sprawl of the South Florida Atlantic coast.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Spot the Vehicle Assembly Building and the historic launch pads along the Merritt Island coastline.

🌾

Lowcountry Marshes

The intricate network of tidal creeks and barrier islands near Savannah and Charleston.

🏢

Uptown Charlotte

A direct view of the Charlotte skyscrapers when the aircraft is on its final approach to the north-facing runways.

The right side is premier for morning flights as the sun rises over the Atlantic. To see Cape Canaveral, look out about 45 minutes after entering US airspace. For the Charlotte skyline, ensure you are seated on the right when the pilot announces a landing to the north (Runway 36R/L).

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Montego Bay Coast

Immediate views of the Jamaican shoreline and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea after departure.

⛰️

Cuban Interior

Aerial perspective of the central Cuban landscape and the rugged terrain of the Sierra de Escambray.

🐊

Florida Everglades

The expansive, shimmering wetlands of Southern Florida stretching toward the Gulf of Mexico.

🌊

Lake Okeechobee

A clear view of the massive freshwater lake in central Florida, easily recognizable by its circular shape.

🌲

Piedmont Plateau

The rolling green hills and dense forests of the Carolinas as the plane approaches the Appalachian foothills.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side is ideal for spotting the vastness of the Everglades and the central Florida lake systems. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best views of the Jamaican coastline before heading over open water.
