Which side of the plane to sit from Minneapolis-St Paul International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport (Minneapolis) to Austin Straubel International Airport (Green Bay)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic landmarks, including a potential view of Lambeau Field and the massive expanse of Lake Winnebago during the final approach.
Lake Pepin
View the widest natural part of the Mississippi River, famous for its high bluffs and scenic sailing waters.
Lake Winnebago
Marvel at Wisconsin's largest inland lake, which dominates the horizon south of the descent path.
Lambeau Field
Spot the legendary home of the Green Bay Packers, usually visible during the final minutes of flight.
Fox River Valley
Follow the industrial corridor and lock systems connecting the inland lakes to the Great Lakes system.
The right side is essential for sports fans; Lambeau Field is typically visible on the final approach from the south or west. For evening flights, the sunset reflects beautifully off Lake Winnebago and the Fox River. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of Wisconsin dairy farms during mid-flight.
Mississippi River Crossing
Catch a high-altitude view of the winding river separating Minnesota and Wisconsin shortly after takeoff.
Wisconsin Northwoods Edge
Observe the transition from farmland to the dense, dark green canopies of central Wisconsin's forests.
Rib Mountain
Look for the prominent billion-year-old quartzite ridge near Wausau, rising sharply from the surrounding plains.
Bay of Green Bay
On descent, view the long, narrow arm of Lake Michigan stretching northward toward the Upper Peninsula.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and enjoy clearer views of the St. Paul skyline. In winter, this side offers the best views of the frozen Chippewa River. Watch for the 'V' shape of the Bay of Green Bay as you enter the terminal airspace.
