MIA → IND
Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Indianapolis International Airport (Indianapolis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route because it offers iconic views of the Miami skyline and South Beach immediately after departure, followed by the potential to spot the Kennedy Space Center and the rolling Appalachian foothills during the mid-flight phase.

Miami & South Beach
Stunning aerial views of the downtown skyline, the Port of Miami, and the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay.
Space Coast
Potential distant views of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center launch pads as you head north.
Blue Ridge Foothills
The dense green forests and undulating terrain of the southern Appalachian range provide beautiful textures.
Indianapolis Skyline
On the final approach, look for the 'Circle City' and the massive footprint of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway if the wind is from the south.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. During departure, be ready with your camera immediately; the view of the Miami shoreline is one of the best in civil aviation. Mid-flight, look for the transition from flat coastal plains to the rolling hills of Kentucky.
