Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline during departure and spectacular views of the Chesapeake Bay and the Northeast megalopolis during the cruise phase.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🚀

Space Coast Horizon

Distant views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Canaveral area during the initial climb out of Sanford.

🌊

Chesapeake Bay

An expansive view of the world's largest estuary, featuring intricate shorelines and bridge-tunnels.

🏢

Northeast Corridor

Glimpses of major urban centers including the outskirts of DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia as you fly north.

🍇

Southern Tier Hills

The rolling landscape of the Finger Lakes region and local vineyards during the descent into Elmira.

Sit on the right for afternoon flights to enjoy better lighting as the sun moves west. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into ELM, where the undulating hills of the Southern Tier are most prominent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Ocala National Forest

Lush green canopy and hundreds of lakes in the central Florida wilderness shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Richmond Metro Area

A clear view of the James River winding through the historic Virginia state capital.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Distant but beautiful silhouettes of the Appalachian range visible on the western horizon.

🏞️

Susquehanna River

The wide, rocky riverbed carving through the Pennsylvania landscape north of Harrisburg.

Early morning flights are best on this side to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct ridge-and-valley patterns of the Appalachian Mountains as you cross the Mason-Dixon line.
