Which side of the plane to sit from Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach) to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic coastline and Myrtle Beach's 'Grand Strand' immediately after takeoff, followed by a prime view of the Charlotte skyline during the final approach.
The Grand Strand
Panoramic views of the 60-mile continuous stretch of beach and the Atlantic Ocean during the initial climb.
Coastal Salt Marshes
Intricate tidal creek patterns and emerald green marshes visible near the North and South Carolina border.
Uptown Charlotte Skyline
An excellent view of the distinct Charlotte skyscrapers and Bank of America Stadium when landing from the north.
Charlotte Motor Speedway
If the flight path swings slightly north, the massive NASCAR racing complex can be seen in the distance.
Choose a seat well ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Myrtle Beach shoreline. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Charlotte skyline on arrival.
Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge
Dense blackwater forests and cypress swamps along the Waccamaw River visible shortly after departure.
Pee Dee Farmlands
Traditional agricultural landscapes of rural South Carolina featuring colorful crop circles and patches.
Lake Wylie
A sprawling man-made reservoir on the border of the Carolinas, seen during the descent into Charlotte.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the winding Great Pee Dee River which marks the transition from the coastal plain to the inland plateau.
