Which side of the plane to sit from Charlotte County Airport (Punta Gorda) to Blue Grass Airport (Lexington KY)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the clear winner for scenic enthusiasts, providing a front-row seat to the dramatic rise of the Appalachian Mountains and the manicured landscapes of Kentucky's horse country.

St. Johns River
The massive North-flowing river and central Florida's chain of lakes are visible early in the flight.
Great Smoky Mountains
Breathtaking views of the highest ridges in the Appalachian chain, often shrouded in blue mist.
Blue Ridge Escarpment
The dramatic point where the flat Piedmont plateau meets the rising wall of the mountains.
Bluegrass Horse Farms
As you descend into LEX, view the iconic white-fenced estates and training tracks of world-class thoroughbred farms.
For the best mountain views, choose a seat on the right side behind the wing. Book a morning flight for the clearest visibility and the best light on the mountain ridges. During the fall, the right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the changing autumn foliage across the Carolinas and Kentucky.

Tennessee River Valley
Views of the winding Tennessee River and the various hydroelectric dams dotting the valley.
Kentucky River Palisades
