Which side of the plane to sit from Plattsburgh International Airport (Plattsburgh) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the Atlantic coastline, featuring iconic views of the Eastern Seaboard, the Chesapeake Bay, and the vibrant turquoise waters of the Florida Gold Coast.
Lake Champlain
Aerial views of the massive lake separating New York and Vermont immediately after takeoff.
NYC & Jersey Shore
Distant views of the Manhattan skyline followed by the long, sandy stretches of the New Jersey coastline.
Chesapeake Bay
The intricate waterways, islands, and bridge-tunnels of the United States' largest estuary.
The Outer Banks
The thin, fragile barrier islands of North Carolina standing against the Atlantic waves.
Florida Gold Coast
Glittering views of West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Pompano Beach during the descent.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Crystal clear views of the Atlantic shoreline and high-rise condos as the plane prepares to land.
For morning flights, the left side will experience direct sunlight; use a window shade to prevent glare. This side is superior for coastal enthusiasts, as the flight path frequently hugs the shoreline. Keep an eye out for the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the unique geography of the Delmarva Peninsula mid-flight.
Adirondack Mountains
Views of the High Peaks region and dense forest canopy of upstate New York shortly after departure.
Hudson Valley
The winding Hudson River and the rolling Catskill Mountains visible to the west.
Piedmont Plateau
The transition from the Appalachian foothills to the flat coastal plains of the Carolinas.
The Everglades
If the flight approaches FLL from the west, you will see the vast 'River of Grass' and its unique wetlands.
South Florida Suburbs
The sprawling grid-like development and canal systems of Western Broward County.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Appalachian range or the Everglades. It offers a more 'land-based' perspective of the flight, showcasing the transition from Northern forests to Southern pine barrens and eventually tropical marshes.
