Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford) to Toledo Express Airport (Toledo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the St. Johns River basin upon takeoff, the most dramatic peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the best chance to see Lake Erie during the approach into Toledo.
St. Johns River
Spectacular views of the winding St. Johns River and the Lake Jesup conservation area shortly after takeoff from Sanford.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Breathtaking vistas of the rolling, hazy peaks of the Blue Ridge range as the flight paths north through North Carolina and Virginia.
Columbus Skyline
The metropolitan skyline of Ohio's capital is often visible to the east during the final third of the journey.
Lake Erie Shoreline
As the plane descends into Toledo, enjoy views of the western basin of Lake Erie and the mouth of the Maumee River.
For morning flights, the right side provides a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic coastal plain in the distance. During the fall, this side is exceptional for viewing the changing foliage colors of the Appalachian Mountains. On the final approach into TOL, keep your eyes peeled for the Cedar Point peninsula and the Lake Erie islands visible in the distance to the northeast.
Central Florida Lakes
Aerial views of the countless lakes and suburban sprawl of the greater Orlando region immediately after departure.
Cumberland Plateau
The rugged and heavily forested western edge of the Appalachian mountain range through Kentucky and West Virginia.
Midwestern Patchwork
Clear views of the distinct geometric patterns of the massive agricultural fields as you enter southern Ohio.
Sit on the left side during evening flights to witness the sunset over the Ohio River Valley. This side also offers a clear view of the sun-drenched Appalachian plateau during late afternoon travel. Look for the winding Ohio River near the West Virginia border, which creates a distinct silver ribbon against the green landscape.
