The Space Coast
Clear views of the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the long stretches of Merritt Island.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands surrounded by turquoise Atlantic waters.
Cape Cod & Islands
The iconic 'hook' shape of Massachusetts and the upscale vacation enclaves of Martha's Vineyard.
Nova Scotia South Shore
The rugged, glaciated coastline of Nova Scotia featuring thousands of small inlets and islands near Halifax.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Gulf Stream and passing maritime vessel traffic.
Sit on the right for the most iconic geographic landmarks. Shortly after takeoff from MCO, look for the VAB at NASA. On clear days, the transition from the sandy beaches of the US South to the rocky granite shores of the North is striking. For morning flights, bring sunglasses as the sun rises over the Atlantic.

Orlando Theme Parks
Aerial views of the sprawling resort complexes and lakes of Central Florida immediately after departure.
East Coast Megalopolis
Distant views of the urban corridor stretching from Washington D.C. to New York City.
Bay of Fundy
Witness the dramatic mudflats and high-tide coastlines of New Brunswick during the northern descent.
Appalachian Fringe
The rolling green landscapes and river systems of the Piedmont region as you head north.
The left side is preferable for evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the sunset over the continent. It provides the best perspective of the extreme tidal zones in the Bay of Fundy as you enter Canadian airspace. Watch for the grid patterns of major Mid-Atlantic cities if the flight path stays slightly inland.
