Which side of the plane to sit from Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau) to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this route as it tracks the North American coastline, offering views of the Florida Gold Coast, the deep blue contrast of the 'Tongue of the Ocean,' and the rolling Piedmont region during descent.

New Providence Island
Panoramic views of Nassau's western beaches and the Lyford Cay area immediately after takeoff.
Tongue of the Ocean
A massive underwater canyon where the shallow turquoise waters of the Bahamas Bank drop into dark cobalt depths.
The Space Coast
Distant views of the Florida coastline including Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center launch pads.
Savannah River
The winding waterway marking the border between Georgia and South Carolina as you fly north.
Crowders Mountain
A prominent peak and state park visible during the final descent into the Charlotte metro area.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and maximize visibility of the coastline. This side is also excellent for spotting the dramatic change in water color between the Bahamian shallows and the deep Atlantic. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the best water-depth contrasts.

Berry Islands

Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Spot major cargo vessels and cruise ships traversing the Gulf Stream towards East Coast ports.
Charleston Harbor
Look for the distinctive Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and the historic battery of the South Carolina coast.
Uptown Charlotte
The impressive cluster of bank skyscrapers in downtown Charlotte is often visible on the base leg of the approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun sets to the west, providing softer lighting for photos. On the final approach into CLT, this side typically offers the most direct view of the Uptown skyline, especially if the aircraft is landing on the northern runways. Look for the massive Lake Wylie just before touchdown.
