Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford) to Burlington International Airport (Burlington)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the barrier islands of the Carolinas, and a stunning aerial perspective of the Manhattan skyline before crossing into the Green Mountains.
Atlantic Coastline
Spectacular views of Daytona Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway as you climb out of Florida.
The Outer Banks
On clear days, see the thin, sandy ribbon of the NC barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Chesapeake Bay
Observe the massive scale of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and the intricate waterways of coastal Virginia.
Manhattan Skyline
Often provides a perfect 'postcard' view of the New York City skyscrapers and the Jersey Shoreline.
Green Mountains
Panoramic views of Vermont's iconic rolling green peaks during the final approach into Burlington.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal enthusiasts. For morning flights, be prepared for significant sun glare; bring sunglasses. To see the NYC skyline, look out approximately 75-90 minutes into the flight. During the fall, this side offers incredible views of the vibrant autumn foliage over the Green Mountains as you land.
Central Florida Lakes
View the intricate network of lakes and marshlands surrounding the Sanford and Orlando area shortly after takeoff.
Philly & Baltimore
Catch distant views of the urban corridors of Pennsylvania and Maryland as the plane tracks north-northeast.
Catskill Mountains
The rolling, forested peaks of the Catskills in New York provide a beautiful transition from the flat coast to the northern mountains.
Lake Champlain West
As you descend into BTV, enjoy the sparkling waters of Lake Champlain and the rugged Adirondack profile in the distance.
Sit on the left if you prefer mountain silhouettes against the sunset for evening flights. During the descent into Burlington, this side offers a better view of the Adirondack High Peaks in New York across the lake. It is also the 'cooler' side for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side.
