Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (Cleveland)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Atlantic coastline and Cape Canaveral upon departure, followed by the dramatic Blue Ridge Mountains and a scenic approach over Lake Erie into Cleveland.
The Space Coast
Distant views of the Kennedy Space Center and the distinctive coastline of Cape Canaveral.
Atlantic Coastline
Clear views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the beaches of Northeast Florida and Georgia.
Blue Ridge Mountains
The scenic and hazy blue peaks of the Appalachian range through the Carolinas and Virginia.
Cleveland Skyline
A stunning view of the Terminal Tower and downtown sports stadiums during the northern approach.
Lake Erie Shoreline
The vast horizon of the Great Lake as the plane aligns with the runways at Hopkins.
Choose the right side for the best chance to see the Cleveland skyline and Lake Erie during the descent. In the afternoon, use the window shade to block the harsh western sun reflecting off the wing.
Orlando Theme Parks
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling Walt Disney World and Universal resorts shortly after takeoff.
Ocala National Forest
A vast expanse of sand pine scrub and freshwater springs in central Florida.
Appalachian Ridges
The rugged, tree-covered peaks of West Virginia and the Monongahela National Forest.
Ohio River Valley
The winding path of the Ohio River as you cross from West Virginia into the Midwest.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Look out early for views of Orlando's lakes and late for the suburban sprawl of southern Cleveland.
