Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford) to Lehigh Valley International Airport (Allentown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a breathtaking perspective of the U.S. East Coast, featuring the Atlantic shoreline, the barrier islands of Georgia and the Carolinas, and the expansive Chesapeake Bay.
Florida Coastline
Stunning views of the Atlantic beaches near Daytona and the Intracoastal Waterway during initial climb.
The Sea Islands
The intricate network of barrier islands and salt marshes along the Georgia and South Carolina coast.
Outer Banks
The iconic thin strip of the North Carolina Outer Banks and the vast Pamlico Sound.
Chesapeake Bay
A massive perspective of the bay, including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel near Norfolk.
Delaware Bay
Deep blue waters separating the Delmarva Peninsula from the New Jersey coastline.
Philadelphia Skyline
A clear view of the Philly skyline and the Delaware River during the descent into Allentown.
The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts. For the best experience, book an early morning flight to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition between the deep blue ocean and the turquoise coastal sounds. As you approach ABE, look for the Delaware River which marks the border between PA and NJ.
St. Johns River
Aerial view of the winding river and Lake Monroe immediately after takeoff from SFB.
Jacksonville Metro
View of the sprawling Jacksonville area and the multiple bridges crossing the St. Johns River.
Piedmont Plateau
Rolling hills and dense forest cover as the flight traverses the inland Carolinas and Virginia.
D.C. Perimeter
Distant views of the Washington D.C. metro area and the Potomac River basin.
Susquehanna River
Broad views of the Susquehanna River valley as the aircraft enters Pennsylvania airspace.
Choose the left side for inland geography and river systems. On evening flights, this side experiences the sunset, offering beautiful golden hour lighting over the Appalachian foothills in the distance. Watch for the transition from Florida wetlands to the rolling terrain of the Mid-Atlantic.
