Space Coast
Distant eastward views toward Cape Canaveral and the Atlantic beaches during the climb.
Carolina Coastline
The transition between the mainland and the barrier islands of the South Atlantic Bight.
Chesapeake Bay
A massive estuary system with visible shipping channels and bridge-tunnel complexes.
Philadelphia Skyline
Panoramic views of the 'City of Brotherly Love' as the flight enters the Northeast corridor.
Pocono Plateau
The lake-dotted forest landscape of Eastern Pennsylvania during the final arrival sequence.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic, though travelers should bring sunglasses. This side provides the best perspective of the major bays (Chesapeake and Delaware) and the high-density urban sprawl of the I-95 corridor. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing for views of Philadelphia and the transition into the Pocono mountain region.

St. Johns River
The massive, winding river system of Central Florida visible shortly after departure from Sanford.
Georgia Piedmont
Rolling hills and dense pine forests of the inland South as the flight heads north.
Susquehanna River
A major river landmark that signifies the entry into the heart of Pennsylvania's rugged terrain.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Distant views of the iconic blue-hued mountain range to the west as you cross Virginia.
Appalachian Ridges
The distinctive 'fold and ridge' geography of Pennsylvania during the descent phase.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight, where the Susquehanna River and the folded ridges of the Appalachian Mountains become the primary landmarks. In autumn, the foliage transition from green to vibrant reds and oranges is best captured from this side during the approach into AVP.
