Orlando Theme Parks
Glimpse the distinct silhouettes of Epcot's Spaceship Earth and the Magic Kingdom shortly after takeoff from MCO.
Gulf Horizon
On clear days, the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico are visible on the distant horizon during the initial climb.
Ozark Plateau
View the rugged, forested hills of southern Missouri, providing a textured landscape of deep greens and winding river valleys.
Mississippi River
A majestic crossing of the winding 'Father of Waters' typically occurs near the Missouri-Tennessee-Arkansas border area.
Western Plains Sunset
On afternoon and evening flights, this side experiences the full glow of the setting sun over the vast Great Plains.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to enjoy the sunset over the midwestern horizon. Keep your window shade down during the first hour if the sun is high to avoid glare, then open it as you reach the Ozarks for the best topographical views.

The symmetrical beauty of center-pivot irrigation circles and rectangular farmland creates a green and gold quilt across Iowa.

Follow the river's wide path as it forms the natural border between Nebraska and Iowa during the final descent phase.
Omaha-Council Bluffs
Get a clear view of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge and the downtown Omaha skyline when landing from the south.
