Unmatched views of the Willis Tower, Millennium Park, and the downtown high-rises during the initial climb.
Lake Michigan Shoreline
Glittering views of the southern lakefront and the industrial shoreline of Northwest Indiana.
Champaign-Urbana

Wabash River Valley
The winding riverbed marking the border between Illinois and Indiana provides a natural contrast to the flat plains.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Chicago skyline immediately after takeoff. For afternoon flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun as you head south. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of flight for the best urban photography.
