Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Gulf of Mexico's coastline during departure and a more direct look at the rugged Appalachian heartland, including the dense forests of West Virginia.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Florida Gulf Coast

Clear views of the Nature Coast including Crystal River and the intricate marshlands of the Big Bend area.

⛰️

Great Smoky Mountains

As you head north, the western ridges of the Smokies provide a dramatic landscape of rolling blue-tinted peaks.

🌲

Monongahela National Forest

Deep green canopy and sharp ridge-and-valley formations throughout the West Virginia highlands.

🏙️

Pittsburgh Metro

On the descent, the skyline of Pittsburgh and the confluence of the three rivers are often visible to the northwest.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side provides the best angle for the Gulf coastline during initial ascent and captures the most dramatic mountain shadows in the afternoon.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

Tampa Bay & Skyway

Immediate views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the sprawling Tampa metropolitan area upon takeoff.

🎡

Central Florida Lakes

A bird's-eye view of the numerous lakes surrounding Orlando and the geometric patterns of citrus groves.

🏔️

Blue Ridge Mountains

The eastern escarpment of the Appalachians, showing the transition from the Piedmont plateau to high peaks.

🌊

The Ohio River

The winding silver ribbon of the Ohio River marks the transition into the industrial heartland near the flight's end.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise over the Atlantic horizon if flying very early. It also offers a better view of the urban sprawl of the Eastern Seaboard's inner corridor from a distance.
