SFB → LIT
Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford) to Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers the most dynamic views, including distant glimpses of the Gulf Coast and the most favorable angle for viewing the Little Rock skyline during the descent.
Gulf Coast Horizon
Depending on the specific flight path, you may see the emerald waters of the Florida Panhandle shimmering in the distance.
Mobile Bay
The distinct shape of Mobile Bay and the Alabama coastline can often be spotted to the south.
Mississippi Delta
View the massive, geometric patchworks of farmland that define the fertile floodplains of the Delta region.
Mississippi River Crossing
A majestic view of the winding Mississippi River as you cross from Mississippi into Arkansas.
Little Rock Skyline
On many approach patterns into LIT, the left side provides a direct view of the downtown buildings and the Clinton Presidential Center.
For the best experience, book a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On late afternoon flights, this side will face the sunset, offering spectacular colors over the clouds. Look for the wide curves of the Arkansas River as the plane begins its final descent into LIT.
St. Johns River
Immediately after takeoff from SFB, look down to see the winding St. Johns River and Lake George.
Ocala National Forest
A vast expanse of sand pines and scrubland visible shortly after departing the Orlando area.
Appalachian Foothills
In the far distance to the north, you may see the very beginnings of the rolling Appalachian topography.
Oxbow Lakes
Observe the unique horseshoe-shaped lakes formed by the changing course of the Mississippi River over centuries.
Arkansas River Valley
As you approach Little Rock, the terrain transitions into the scenic ridges and valleys of central Arkansas.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of Florida's internal lake systems during the initial climb. During the winter months, look for the stark contrast between the evergreen forests and the brown agricultural fields of the mid-south.
