The 49th Parallel

The right side is essential for the best departure views of Chicago; choose a seat here if your flight departs in the morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes of flight for the urban shoreline. During the winter, this side offers stunning views of frozen lake surfaces across the Midwest.
