MCO β†’ BNA

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Orlando theme parks upon departure and a dramatic look at the Tennessee River valley and Lookout Mountain during the descent into Nashville.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Theme Park Magic

Aerial views of the sprawling Walt Disney World and Universal Studios complexes shortly after takeoff from MCO.

🌲

Ocala National Forest

A vast expanse of dense green canopy and sand pine scrub in Central Florida's interior.

πŸ‘

South Georgia Plains

Typical agricultural grid patterns and peach orchards characteristic of the rural Georgia landscape.

πŸ™οΈ

Atlanta Skyline

On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of downtown and midtown Atlanta are visible to the west of the flight path.

⛰️

Lookout Mountain

Dramatic ridge lines marking the start of the Appalachian range near the Georgia and Tennessee border.

🌊

Tennessee River Bends

The serpentine 'Moccasin Bend' near Chattanooga provides a scenic highlight during the initial descent.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of Orlando's parks. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Tennessee mountains as the sun moves west. Watch for the river about 20 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
πŸš€

Space Coast Horizon

Distal views of the Atlantic coastline and the Kennedy Space Center area during the initial climb.

πŸ’§

Lake George

The second-largest lake in Florida, easily identifiable as a major widening of the St. Johns River.

🐊

Okefenokee Swamp

The dark, tea-colored waters and wetlands of one of North America's largest freshwater ecosystems.

πŸͺ¨

Stone Mountain

The massive, iconic granite monadnock rising abruptly from the Georgia landscape east of Atlanta.

🚀

Lake Lanier

A large, jagged reservoir north of Atlanta known for its numerous islands and recreational boating.

🌈

Great Smoky Mountains

The distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the highest peaks in the Appalachians visible to the northeast.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Keep a close eye out for Stone Mountain while cruising over Georgiaβ€”it is unmistakable. In autumn, this side offers better views toward the colorful Appalachian fall foliage.
