Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular sequence of coastal geography, including the intricate Lowcountry marshes and the vast expanse of the Chesapeake Bay as you move north.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Sweeping views of the barrier islands and white sand beaches stretching from Florida through the Carolinas.

🛶

Lowcountry Marshes

The complex, winding tidal creeks and salt marshes near Savannah and Hilton Head.

🚢

Chesapeake Bay Entrance

A massive aerial perspective of the mouth of the Chesapeake and the Hampton Roads naval area.

🏛️

D.C. Distant Skyline

If the flight path stays east, look for the distant silhouette of the Washington Monument and the Potomac River.

🏘️

Hagerstown Suburbs

A clear view of the historic town and the intersection of I-81 and I-70 upon final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. To best view the Chesapeake Bay, check the flight tracker; if the plane passes east of Richmond, the bay views will be exceptional. Avoid sitting directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal inlets.

🐊

Okefenokee Swamp

A vast, dark expanse of freshwater wetlands and peat-filled bogs along the Florida-Georgia border.

🌲

Piedmont Plateau

Rolling hills and dense forest canopies characterizing the interior of the Carolinas and Virginia.

🏔️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Dramatic views of the Appalachian range's eastern edge as the flight begins its descent into Maryland.

🚜

Cumberland Valley

The distinctive patchwork of fertile limestone farmland that surrounds Hagerstown.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Appalachian Mountains. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the green ridges and the valley floor. In autumn, this side provides superior views of the fall foliage across the mountain ranges.
