Tampa Bay Skyline
Direct views of downtown St. Petersburg, the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and the sprawling Tampa metropolitan area shortly after takeoff.
Central Florida Lakes
The countless circular lakes of central Florida, often reflecting sunlight, providing a unique 'Swiss cheese' landscape pattern.
Charlotte Skyline
As the flight nears North Carolina, the high-rise buildings of Uptown Charlotte are often visible as a distinct cluster on the horizon.
Piedmont Triad Arrival
Comprehensive views of the urban corridor between Charlotte and Greensboro, including High Point's furniture district.
Opt for the right side on morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is typically better for spotting coastal cities and the developed Piedmont Crescent. Watch for the St. Johns River as you cross into Georgia, which appears as a massive winding ribbon of water.

Florida Gulf Coast
Aerial views of the Nature Coast and the transition from the Gulf of Mexico to the marshy wetlands of the Big Bend.
Okefenokee Swamp
A massive, dark-watered peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia-Florida line, visible as a vast, untamed green expanse.
Appalachian Foothills
On the final approach into Greensboro, the rolling hills and distant peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains may be visible on clear days.
Uwharrie National Forest
Dense clusters of ancient mountains and lush woodlands in North Carolina as the plane begins its final descent.
Sit on the left for better views of the sunset during evening flights, as the sun will be setting over the Gulf. This side is also better for spotting the remote wilderness of the Suwannee River region and the rural landscapes of central Georgia.
