Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the initial climb over the Grand Strand and the dramatic descent over the New River Gorge and Charleston.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

The Grand Strand

A breathtaking panoramic view of the 60-mile stretch of Atlantic coastline immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Winston-Salem

View the distinct architecture of the Innovation Quarter and the R.J. Reynolds building.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Escarpment

The dramatic transition where the flat Piedmont suddenly rises into the Blue Ridge Mountains.

🌉

New River Gorge

The iconic bridge and the ancient, winding river carved deep into the West Virginia bedrock.

🏛️

Charleston State Capitol

The gleaming 23-karat gold-domed capitol building visible during the descent into the tri-state area.

Sit on the right side for the best departure views of the ocean. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, look closely for the New River Gorge Bridge and the gold dome of the West Virginia Capitol in Charleston. Morning flights on this side offer the best lighting without the harsh afternoon sun glare.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🛶

Pee Dee River Basin

Intricate, winding blackwater river systems cutting through the coastal plains of South Carolina.

🏢

Charlotte Skyline

Distant but clear views of the Queen City's tall skyscrapers if the flight path tracks slightly west.

🌲

Pisgah National Forest

Expansive views of the dense, rolling green ridges that define the Southern Appalachian wilderness.

🏞️

Mount Rogers Area

Vistas of Virginia's highest peaks and the unique high-altitude meadows of the Grayson Highlands.

⛏️

Appalachian Ridges

The rugged, folded terrain of the plateau showing the historical impact of mining and timber.

The left side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Appalachian ridges. Keep an eye out for the Charlotte skyline approximately 30-40 minutes into the flight. If flying in autumn, this side provides excellent views of the changing foliage in the national forests.
