OKC → SFB
Which side of the plane to sit from Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer excellent views of the American South, the Right Side is preferred for its superior perspective of the Oklahoma City skyline during takeoff, the vast Okefenokee Swamp, and the unique lake-dotted landscape of Central Florida during the approach to Sanford.

Oklahoma City Skyline
Excellent views of downtown OKC and the Devon Tower immediately after taking off toward the southeast.
Arkansas River Valley
Scenic views of the wide river basin as it flows through the heart of Arkansas.
Tombigbee River
Watch for this historic waterway cutting a silver path through the dense Alabama timberlands.
Okefenokee Swamp

Central Florida Lakes
A stunning mosaic of hundreds of small lakes surrounding the Orlando and Sanford area during final approach.
