Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Tallahassee Regional Airport (Tallahassee)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning coastal journey along Florida's Gulf Coast, featuring the Everglades, the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Everglades National Park
A vast expanse of sawgrass prairies and mangrove forests visible shortly after departing the Miami metro area.
Ten Thousand Islands
A complex labyrinth of coastal mangrove islands and secret waterways along the southwest Florida coastline.
Sunshine Skyway Bridge
The massive cable-stayed bridge spanning Tampa Bay is a distinct landmark when passing the St. Petersburg area.
Gulf Coast Beaches
Continuous views of white-sand barrier islands from Fort Myers up through Clearwater Beach.
Gulf Horizons
Uninterrupted views of the turquoise Gulf of Mexico, especially breathtaking during evening golden hour flights.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Tampa Bay area and its unique bridges.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's massive 'Inland Sea' is easily identifiable by its circular shape and vast surface area shortly after takeoff.
Florida Heartland
Geometric patterns of citrus groves, cattle ranches, and sugar cane fields defining central Florida's interior.
Orlando Horizons
On clear days, the distant vertical structures of major theme park landmarks can be spotted to the northeast.
Ocala National Forest
A dense green canopy of sand pines and numerous circular freshwater springs visible as the flight moves north.
Apalachee Bay
The transition into the Big Bend region's marshy wetlands as the plane begins its descent into Tallahassee.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic horizon in the distance. Watch for Lake Okeechobee about 15 minutes after departure; it is the most prominent geographic feature on this side of the aircraft.
