MIA → TUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Tulsa International Airport (Tulsa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more diverse viewing experience, including the vast Everglades wilderness, the brilliant white sands of the Florida Panhandle, and the winding architecture of the Mississippi River.
Everglades National Park
View the 'River of Grass' immediately after departure, showcasing the unique subtropical wetlands of Florida.
The Emerald Coast
Stunning views of the bright white beaches and turquoise waters stretching from Destin to Pensacola.
Mississippi River Delta
Observe the massive, silt-heavy curves and oxbow lakes of the Mississippi River as it nears the Gulf.
Little Rock Skyline
A clear perspective of the Arkansas capital and the transition into the hilly terrain of the Ouachitas.
Ouachita Mountains
Dense forests and ancient, east-west trending ridges that define the landscape of western Arkansas.
On evening flights, the left side is the prime spot for viewing the sunset over the horizon. Look out shortly after takeoff for the sharp contrast between Miami's urban grid and the untamed Everglades.
Lake Okeechobee
The massive 'Inland Sea' of Florida is often visible to the north shortly after climbing out of MIA.
Southern Pine Forests
Expansive stretches of timberland across Alabama and Mississippi, broken only by rural town clusters.
The Ozark Plateau
Rugged, scenic ridges and deep valleys of the Ozark National Forest visible to the north in Arkansas.
Arkansas River Valley
The flight path often parallels this major waterway, showing the fertile agricultural plains surrounding it.
Tulsa Suburbs
Detailed views of the gathering neighborhoods and the Arkansas River as the plane turns for its final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled for the transition from the flat Florida coastal plain into the rolling, forested plateaus of the interior South.
