MCO → CAK
Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Akron Canton Regional Airport (Akron)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers superior views of the Orlando theme park complexes upon departure and provides a more direct perspective of the dramatic Appalachian ridge-and-valley formations through West Virginia during the descent.
Orlando Theme Parks
Glimpse the sprawling complexes of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando shortly after takeoff from MCO.
Ocala National Forest
Fly over the southernmost forest in the continental United States, characterized by dense sand pines and lakes.
Appalachian Ridges
Stunning aerial views of the ancient, folded mountain chains and deep valleys of West Virginia.
Ohio River Crossing
Observe the winding Ohio River as the flight transitions from the mountainous terrain into the rolling hills of Ohio.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On evening flights, this side will catch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico in the distance during the first half of the trip. Watch closely about 20 minutes before landing for the distinct industrial landscapes of the Ohio River Valley.
Space Coast Glimpse
On clear days, see the distant Atlantic coastline and the launch facilities of Cape Canaveral to the east.
St. Johns River
Trace the path of Florida's longest river as it snakes northward toward Jacksonville.
Blue Ridge Mountains
View the iconic blue-tinted peaks of the eastern Appalachian range spanning through the Carolinas and Virginia.
Pittsburgh Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern into CAK, the downtown skyline of Pittsburgh may be visible in the distance to the northeast.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the shimmering reservoirs of the Carolinas during the mid-flight cruise. If landing to the south at CAK, this side offers an excellent view of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton just minutes before touchdown.
