The right side provides a superior scenic experience, featuring views of the Appalachian range and a stunning approach along the Lake Michigan shoreline into Milwaukee.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Great Smoky Mountains

Fly over the hazy, blue-tinted ridges of the Southern Appalachian Mountains as you cross Tennessee.

🐎

Kentucky Bluegrass

Spot the lush, rolling green pastures and thoroughbred horse farms surrounding the Lexington area.

🌊

Lake Michigan

The star attraction; the deep blue expanse of the lake dominates the view as you turn toward Milwaukee.

⚓

Milwaukee Waterfront

Get a clear view of the Milwaukee Art Museum and the city's industrial port during the final approach.

The right side is best for morning flights to see the sunrise reflect off Lake Michigan. As the plane descends into MKE, the right side offers the most intimate views of the Milwaukee lakefront and downtown landmarks.

🎢

Orlando Theme Parks

Immediately after takeoff from MCO, look down to spot the sprawling complexes of Disney World and Universal Studios.

🏙️

Atlanta Metro Area

The flight path often passes west of Atlanta, offering views of the city's extensive suburban canopy and Hartsfield-Jackson airport.

🏙️

Chicago Skyline

On the descent into MKE, the iconic Sears (Willis) Tower and the Chicago lakefront are often visible in the distance.

🌾

Illinois Prairies

Observe the perfectly rectangular grid patterns of the American Midwest's agricultural heartland.

Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the horizon. Keep an eye out for the Chicago skyline as you begin your final descent into Wisconsin.
