MCO → MCN
Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Middle Georgia Regional Airport (Macon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the best chance to spot the world-famous theme parks of Orlando shortly after takeoff and provides excellent views of the Central Georgia agricultural patchwork during the descent into Macon.

Orlando Theme Parks
Aerial glimpses of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios landmarks if the flight path tracks west of downtown Orlando.
Lake Apopka
Florida's fourth-largest lake, offering a vast blue contrast to the surrounding orange groves and urban sprawl.
Paynes Prairie
A unique savannah ecosystem south of Gainesville, often appearing as a vast, flat green expanse punctuated by wetlands.
South Georgia Farmland
The transition into Georgia brings views of perfectly geometric pecan orchards and seasonal cotton fields.
Book an afternoon flight on the left side to avoid direct sun glare while heading north. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from MCO, as the climb-out often passes near the tourist corridor. During the winter, look for steam rising from the many lakes in Central Florida.

Downtown Orlando
Clear views of the Lake Eola area and the clustered high-rises of Orlando's central business district.
Ocala National Forest
A massive, uninterrupted canopy of sand pines and scrub, spanning over 600 square miles of North-Central Florida.
St. Johns River
The winding, dark waters of Florida's longest river snaking through the marshy interior.
Ocmulgee Mounds
Ancient Mississippian earthworks visible near the Ocmulgee River just as the plane aligns for its final approach into MCN.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic horizon in the distance. Watch for the distinct change in topography as the flat Florida wetlands give way to the rolling clay hills of the Georgia Fall Line near Macon.
