Which side of the plane to sit from St Petersburg Clearwater International Airport (St. Petersburg) to Bangor International Airport (Bangor)?

The right side of the aircraft offers unparalleled views of the Atlantic coastline, the barrier islands of the Carolinas, and the rugged, rocky shores of Maine during the descent.

Sunshine Skyway Bridge
An aerial perspective of the massive cable-stayed bridge spanning Tampa Bay during departure.
Outer Banks
The thin, fragile ribbon of sand dunes and islands stretching along the North Carolina coast.
Chesapeake Bay
Expansive views of the massive estuary and the engineering marvel of the Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Long Island Coast
The diverse shoreline of New York, featuring Hamptons beaches and the Long Island Sound.
Acadia & Mid-Coast Maine
Dramatic views of the jagged, rocky coastline and forested islands just before landing at BGR.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for water lovers. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun is on the opposite side of the plane, illuminating the coastline. Watch closely during the last 20 minutes of the flight; if the approach path is from the south, you may see the spectacular intersection of the Penobscot River and the Atlantic.

Central Florida Lakes
Vast networks of freshwater lakes and wetlands visible shortly after takeoff from PIE.
Richmond Skyline
A clear view of Virginia's capital and the winding James River as the flight moves north.
Manhattan Skyline
Distanced but iconic views of the New York City skyscrapers and the Hudson River.
White Mountains
On clear days, the snowy peaks of New Hampshire are visible to the west during the descent into Maine.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is superior for spotting major inland cities like Richmond and the distant profile of NYC. Keep an eye out for the transition from the sandy South to the dense, dark green forests of the Northeast.
