Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Theodore Francis Green State Airport (Providence)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular coastal perspective of the Atlantic seaboard, featuring the Kennedy Space Center and the unique geography of the Outer Banks.
Kennedy Space Center
Look for launch pads and the massive Vehicle Assembly Building along the Cape Canaveral coastline early in the flight.
The Outer Banks
View the striking ribbon-like barrier islands of North Carolina, showcasing the contrast between the sound and the ocean.
Chesapeake Bay
Cross over the mouth of the bay to see the intricate network of islands and the impressive Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Atlantic City
Identify the high-rise casinos and the distinct boardwalk pattern along the New Jersey shore.
Block Island
During the final descent into PVD, enjoy a low-altitude view of the dramatic cliffs and lighthouses of Block Island.
The right side is superior for maritime scenery. Sit here for the best chance to see a rocket launch pad or the white sands of the Carolina coast. For late afternoon flights, this side remains shaded and comfortable, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Atlantic coastline and Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay.
Orlando Theme Parks
Glimpse the sprawling resorts and iconic lake-dotted landscape of Central Florida shortly after takeoff.
Mid-Atlantic Cities
The left side provides distant views of the Washington D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan corridors during the cruise phase.
Manhattan Skyline
On clear days, see the dense cluster of skyscrapers in New York City as the flight bypasses the New Jersey coastline.
Philadelphia Landmarks
Spot the Delaware River and the urban center of Philadelphia as you travel through the Northeast corridor.
Appalachian Foothills
To the west, the rolling green terrain of the Appalachian range is often visible in the distance.
Choose the left side if you prefer urban landscapes and city skylines. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of New York City, which usually appears roughly 20-30 minutes before landing. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the direct glare of the sun.
