Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Atlantic coastline, featuring the iconic Florida beaches and a direct view of the Kennedy Space Center.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Miami Beach & Gold Coast

Crystal clear turquoise waters and the high-rise skylines of Miami Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Boca Raton.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Unrivaled views of launch pads 39A and 39B, the Vehicle Assembly Building, and the Shuttle Landing Strip.

🌊

St. Johns River

The wide, winding path of Florida's longest river as it flows north toward Jacksonville.

🏛️

Charleston Harbor

The historic South Carolina coastline, Fort Sumter, and the iconic Ravenel Bridge cables from high above.

🏙️

Charlotte Uptown

A close-up view of the glass skyscrapers of the Queen City's financial district during the final approach.

The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. Sit here for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the Cape Canaveral area; it is the most significant landmark on the route. During the descent into Charlotte, you will often fly parallel to the coast before turning inland, offering great views of the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🐊

Everglades National Park

The transition from Miami's urban sprawl to the vast, dark green wetlands of the River of Grass.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

The massive inland sea of Florida is often visible to the west as the flight proceeds north.

🏰

Orlando Lakes

The glimmering lake systems of central Florida and distant views of the major theme park regions.

🌲

Georgia Pine Forests

Vast expanses of timberland and agriculture as the plane crosses the border into the Deep South.

Select the left side for afternoon or evening flights to experience a stunning sunset over the Gulf of Mexico horizon. During the initial climb, look for the geometric patterns of the South Florida canal system and the distinct boundary of the urban growth line.
