Central Florida Lakes
Aerial views of the numerous freshwater lakes and orange groves surrounding Orlando shortly after takeoff.
East Coast Megalopolis
Distant but clear views of the urban sprawl including Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston as the plane tracks north.
Cape Cod
The unmistakable hook-shaped peninsula of Massachusetts and the surrounding islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Halifax Harbour
Excellent views of the Nova Scotian capital and one of the world's largest natural ice-free deep-water harbors.
Newfoundland Wilderness
The rugged, lake-dotted boreal forest landscape of the interior Avalon Peninsula during the final descent.
Sit on the left for a daytime flight to avoid direct glare from the sun when traveling northeast. This side provides the best perspective for urban landmarks and the transition from temperate US climates to the sub-arctic landscapes of Atlantic Canada. Look out approximately 3 hours into the flight for the New England coastline.

Kennedy Space Center
If the flight path takes an easterly exit from Florida, you can see the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads.

The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina stretching out into the deep blue of the Atlantic.
The North Atlantic
Vast ocean vistas where you might spot large cargo ships or whitecaps on a clear day.
Cape Spear

Signal Hill
The iconic Cabot Tower overlooking the Narrows and the entrance to St. John's Harbour during the final approach.
Choose the right side if you want the most dramatic view of the Newfoundland coastline upon arrival.

Use a morning flight to catch a stunning sunrise over the ocean.
