Which side of the plane to sit from Southwest Florida International Airport (Fort Myers) to Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (Cincinnati)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the varying topography, moving from the Florida wetlands to the majestic Appalachian mountain ranges and providing a clear view of the Cincinnati skyline upon approach.
Florida Everglades
The northeastern edge of the vast river of grass and the complex water management canals of Central Florida.
Great Smoky Mountains
Breathtaking views of the rolling Appalachian peaks and the blue-tinged ridges of eastern Tennessee.
Daniel Boone National Forest
Deep green forested plateaus and rugged sandstone cliffs characterizing the Kentucky wilderness.
Downtown Cincinnati
A prime view of the 'Queen City' skyline, including the iconic Roebling Suspension Bridge and stadium district.
Book the right side for morning flights to see the sunrise illuminate the Appalachian ridges. This side is also preferred for the best chance of seeing the downtown Cincinnati skyline when the airport is landing to the north (Runways 36L/R/C).
Charlotte Harbor
Aerial views of the coastal estuaries, mangrove islands, and the Caloosahatchee River meeting the Gulf.
Tampa Bay Area
Distant views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the sprawling coastal developments of St. Petersburg.
Atlanta Suburbs
The dense suburban canopy and urban sprawl of the greater Atlanta metropolitan area as you head north.
Ohio River Curves
The dramatic winding path of the Ohio River as the plane begins its final descent into CVG.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy stunning sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico during departure. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Markland Locks and Dam on the Ohio River if the flight path follows a western approach.
