Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford) to Piedmont Triad International Airport (Greensboro)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a panoramic view of the Atlantic coastline, featuring the transition from Florida's beaches to the historic harbor cities of Georgia and South Carolina.
Daytona Beach
The iconic Florida coastline and the Atlantic horizon visible during the initial climb.
Jacksonville & St. Johns
The mouth of the St. Johns River and the bustling port infrastructure of North Florida.
Georgia Barrier Islands
Views of Cumberland and Jekyll Islands, known for their pristine dunes and salt marshes.
Charleston Harbor
The historic peninsula of Charleston and the Ravenel Bridge are often visible about 45 minutes into the flight.
The Grand Strand
The long, continuous stretch of white sand beaches near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The right side is significantly more scenic for coastline enthusiasts. For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Atlantic and the coastal marshes. Keep your camera ready roughly 35-50 minutes into the flight to capture the distinctive grid and harbor of Charleston, SC.
Sanford & Lake Monroe
Aerial view of the Sanford waterfront and the start of the St. Johns River immediately after takeoff.
Ocala National Forest
A vast expanse of sand pine scrub and inland springs located to the west of the flight path.
Lake Marion
South Carolina's largest lake, offering a massive blue break in the inland greenery mid-flight.
Sit on the left if you are flying during a late afternoon or sunset flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers a clearer view of the lush, forested interior of the Carolinas and the sprawling suburbs of the Piedmont region as you descend into GSO.
