Which side of the plane to sit from Toledo Express Airport (Toledo) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Lake Erie shoreline upon departure and a spectacular approach over Lake Monroe into Sanford.
Lake Erie Shoreline
Immediately after takeoff from TOL, enjoy views of the western basin of Lake Erie and the Maumee Bay.
Appalachian Ridges
Mid-flight provides distant but clear views of the rolling blue ridges of the Appalachian mountain chain.
Coastal Horizon
As you transition over Georgia, the Atlantic coastline and sea islands are often visible on the horizon.
St. Johns River
Witness the massive, winding St. Johns River snaking through the Florida landscape during your descent.
Lake Monroe
A stunning final approach view of the vast Lake Monroe located directly adjacent to the Sanford airport.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic horizon. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the transition from the winding St. Johns River into the expansive Lake Monroe. Seasonal tip: in autumn, the change in foliage color over the Kentucky/Tennessee border is particularly vivid from this side.
Ohio River Valley
Cross over the majestic Ohio River as you leave the Midwest and enter the rolling hills of Kentucky.
Bluegrass Country
Look down over central Kentucky to see the patchwork patterns of famous horse farms and limestone-rich pastures.
National Forests
Fly over the dense, lush canopies of the Daniel Boone and Chattahoochee National Forests.
Okefenokee Swamp
Aerial views of the prehistoric-looking wetlands and blackwater tea-colored rivers at the Georgia-Florida border.
Central Florida Lakes
View the 'land of a thousand lakes' as you descend into the Orlando area's unique freshwater geography.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. You'll have the best angle to see the sprawl of the Atlanta metro area from a distance. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the rocky Cumberland Plateau to the flat, swampy wetlands of the Florida panhandle. Look for the sun reflecting off the numerous small lakes in central Florida during descent.
