Miami Skyline
Glittering aerial views of downtown Miami, Biscayne Bay, and the Atlantic coastline during the initial climb.
Lake Okeechobee
The 'Inland Sea' of Florida, a massive freshwater lake that dominates the central Florida landscape.
Appalachian Foothills
Dense green forests and rolling topography as the flight crosses through Alabama and Tennessee.
The Gateway Arch
The world-famous stainless steel monument standing on the west bank of the Mississippi River during the descent into STL.
For the best chance to see the Gateway Arch, monitor the flight path as you approach St. Louis from the south; a right-hand seat is usually essential for this view. Morning flights offer the best illumination for the Florida coastline and the metallic sheen of the Arch.
