MIACLE

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is preferred for its stunning initial views of the Florida coastline and the dramatic final approach over Lake Erie into Cleveland.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

A birds-eye view of the turquoise Atlantic waters and the dense skyscraper corridor of Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach.

🚀

The Space Coast

Look for the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads at Kennedy Space Center if the flight path hugs the coast.

🏔️

Blue Ridge Mountains

The eastern ridges of the Appalachians offer beautiful layers of blue-tinted mountain peaks.

🏙️

Cleveland Skyline

On the typical approach, the plane banks over Lake Erie, providing a panoramic view of downtown and the lakefront.

Book the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light reflecting off the Atlantic. On the descent into CLE, be ready for a sharp turn over the water that reveals the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Browns stadium.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
💧

Lake Okeechobee

The massive inland sea of Florida is clearly visible shortly after leaving the Miami area.

🍑

Georgia Wilderness

Vast stretches of southern pine forests and rural landscapes as you cross into the Peach State.

⛰️

Appalachian Plateau

Rugged terrain and deeply carved river valleys of the West Virginia highlands.

🚜

Ohio Basin

The transition into the flat, organized agricultural grids of the Midwest during the initial descent.

Morning flights on the left side avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. Watch for the winding Ohio River as you cross the state border into Ohio, which marks the transition from hills to flatter terrain.
