Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford) to Bangor International Airport (Bangor)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the Atlantic coastline, transitioning from Florida's sandy shores to the dramatic, rocky inlets of Maine.
The Outer Banks
The spectacular thin ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, visible if the flight takes an offshore route.
Chesapeake Bay
The massive estuary system and the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel near Norfolk.
Long Island Shoreline
The southern beaches and the distinct shape of the island extending eastward from New York.
Cape Cod & Islands
The iconic 'flexed arm' geography of Massachusetts, including views of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Maine's Jagged Coast
The transition to the rocky 'Down East' coastline, featuring numerous islands, lighthouses, and deep bays.
The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the shoreline. Keep an eye out for the dramatic change in water color and coastal texture as you cross the Mason-Dixon line northward.
East Coast Urban Corridor
Distant views of major metropolitan areas including Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City depending on the inland track.
New England Highlands
As you head north, the rolling hills and distant peaks of the Appalachian chain become visible to the west.
Maine Northwoods
Dense, continuous canopy of evergreen forests that define the rugged interior of the Pine Tree State.
Penobscot River
Aerial views of the winding river system leading directly into the heart of Bangor during the final approach.
Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. This side is also preferable if the flight path takes a more inland route over the Hudson Valley and the Green Mountains of Vermont.
