Miami Beach Skyline
Exceptional views of the Art Deco district, South Beach, and the high-rises lining the turquoise Atlantic coast during climb-out.
Kennedy Space Center
Look for the Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads at Cape Canaveral roughly 30 minutes into the flight.
St. Johns River
Spot the unique northward-flowing river and the urban sprawl of Jacksonville near the Georgia border.
Savannah River & Marshes
The intricate golden marshes and winding waterways of the Georgia coast provide a beautiful texture from altitude.
Stone Mountain
During the descent into Atlanta, watch for this massive granite monadnock rising out of the Piedmont landscape.
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks. For the best photography of Cape Canaveral, choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are spectacular on this side as the sun illuminates the coastline and city skylines without creating direct glare.

The Everglades
Witness the vast, shimmering 'River of Grass' and complex water conservation areas immediately after departing Miami.
Lake Okeechobee
See the massive scale of Florida's largest freshwater lake and its surrounding agricultural dike system.
Central Florida Theme Parks
On clear days, look for the sprawling resorts and recognizable structures of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.
Georgia Farmland
Enjoy the geometric patterns of the rural South, featuring cotton fields, pecan orchards, and red clay soil.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Florida interior. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the afternoon sun, which will be directly on this side during the northbound journey. Watch for the transformation from tropical wetlands to dense pine forests as you cross into Georgia.
