Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning turquoise waters of the Atlantic coastline, the iconic Space Coast, and a better angle of the Ohio River during the final approach into Cincinnati.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Miami Gold Coast

Spectacular views of the high-rises of Miami Beach, the turquoise Atlantic, and the Florida Keys stretching south.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

A prime view of the launch pads at Cape Canaveral and the massive Vehicle Assembly Building.

🌊

Barrier Islands

Continuous vistas of the thin ribbons of sand and intracoastal waterways along the Georgia and Carolina coasts.

🏙️

Savannah River

The winding river basin that forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina, visible as a major landmark.

🛶

Ohio River

A dramatic view of the serpentine Ohio River and the Cincinnati skyline just moments before landing at CVG.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right during a morning flight to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. Watch closely about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the distinctive 'V' shape of Cape Canaveral. During the final descent, if the plane lands toward the south, this side provides an unparalleled view of the Cincinnati downtown bridges and stadium district.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🐊

Everglades National Park

Aerial perspective of the vast 'River of Grass' and its intricate wetland patterns immediately after takeoff.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

A clear view of Florida's largest freshwater lake, often appearing as a massive blue expanse inland.

🎢

Orlando Theme Parks

Distant sightings of the Central Florida lake region and the expansive resorts of the Orlando area.

⛰️

Great Smoky Mountains

Stunning views of the ancient, misty Appalachian ridges as the flight crosses into the Tennessee valley.

🐎

Kentucky Bluegrass

The rolling green hills and patchwork horse farms characteristic of the approach into the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region.

Sit on the left to avoid the direct glare of the morning sun when flying north. This side is also excellent for observing the dense forest transitions and the dramatic topographical changes as you leave the flat Florida peninsula and enter the Appalachian foothills. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the Everglades.
