ORH → FLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Worcester Regional Airport (Worcester) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the Atlantic coastline, the Outer Banks, and a stunning aerial approach over the turquoise waters of the Florida Gold Coast.
Cape Cod & Islands
During the initial climb, catch views of the Hook of the Cape and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket to the east.
The Jersey Shore
Clear views of the long barrier islands, including the Atlantic City boardwalk and the lighthouse at Barnegat Bay.
The Outer Banks
A highlight of the flight, featuring the thin, fragile ribbons of sand making up Cape Hatteras and the Pamlico Sound.
Palm Beach Shoreline
As you descend, watch for the luxury estates of Palm Beach and the distinct separation between the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean.
Port Everglades
On final approach, look for massive cruise ships docked at one of the world's busiest cruise ports just north of FLL.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare, which will be on the right. This side is superior for coastal photography. As you reach Florida, the transition from deep blue ocean to turquoise shallows is most visible from this side.
NYC Skyline
Depending on the specific airway, you may see the Manhattan skyline and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in the distance.
Mid-Atlantic Metros
Views of the sprawling urban corridors of Philadelphia and Baltimore as the flight heads south over the inland route.
The Chesapeake Bay
Observe the massive scale of the Chesapeake Bay and the various bridges connecting the Maryland and Virginia shores.
The Carolinas
Vast stretches of green pine forests and the winding rivers of the Lowcountry landscape.
The Everglades
During a western approach into FLL, the 'River of Grass' stretches endlessly toward the horizon with its unique sawgrass patterns.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Appalachian foothills and the Florida Everglades. If the flight path takes a more inland route (J75 airway), this side offers better views of the major East Coast cities.
