Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point of the Florida Atlantic coastline, the prestigious Jupiter Island, and the Kennedy Space Center, followed by the landmark Stone Mountain on approach to Atlanta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Atlantic Coastline

Stunning views of the Florida 'Gold Coast' and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

View the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads as you fly north past Cape Canaveral.

🛥️

Intracoastal Waterway

Observe the intricate network of canals and luxury waterfront estates along the Florida coast.

⛰️

Stone Mountain

The world's largest piece of exposed granite is a landmark signature during the descent into Atlanta.

🌉

St. Johns River

Watch the massive river system wind through Jacksonville as you exit Florida.

Request a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Space Coast. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Atlantic and the coastal inlets. During the final descent into ATL, scan the horizon for the distinct dome of Stone Mountain.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Lake Okeechobee

Florida's 'Inland Sea' is often visible to the west shortly after departure from West Palm Beach.

🌳

The Everglades

The northern reaches of this vast wetland ecosystem offer a mosaic of green and water.

🎢

Orlando Resorts

On clear days, the sprawl of Central Florida's major theme park complexes can be spotted in the distance.

🏙️

Atlanta Skyline

If the flight approaches Hartsfield-Jackson from the west, the left side provides views of Downtown and Midtown.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing better visibility and photo conditions. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the massive expanse of Lake Okeechobee and look for the dense canopy of the Ocala National Forest as you cross into North Florida.
