Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a more consistent sequence of geographic landmarks, including the core of the Appalachian Mountains and a scenic crossing of the Great Lakes region before the final approach into Flint.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌴

Central Florida Lakes

A wide-angle view of the thousands of inland lakes dotting the Florida peninsula.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Exceptional views of the highest peaks in the eastern United States and the Great Smoky Mountains.

🏙️

Columbus Skyline

The dense urban core and surrounding beltway of Ohio's capital city are often visible mid-flight.

🚢

Lake Erie

Crossing the western edge of the Great Lake, where cargo ships and small islands are frequently visible.

🚗

Detroit Metro

Iconic views of the Motor City skyline and the Ambassador Bridge during the descent into Flint.

The right side is prime for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Great Lakes. Keep your eyes peeled as you cross the Ohio-Michigan border for the Detroit riverfront. In the fall, the right side offers spectacular views of the changing foliage over the Appalachian ridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏖️

Gulf Coastline

Catch glimpses of the Clearwater and St. Pete beaches during the initial climb out of Tampa.

🌳

Chattahoochee Forest

Observe the dense green canopies of northern Georgia stretching toward the Appalachian foothills.

🎸

Tennessee Valley

View the rolling hills and the suburban sprawl around the greater Nashville and Clarksville areas.

🌉

Ohio River

Cross the distinct silver ribbon of the Ohio River near the border of Kentucky and Indiana.

🚜

Midwestern Heartland

High-altitude views of the precise geometric agricultural patterns of the Indiana and Ohio farmlands.

Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind the aircraft, reducing glare. Look for the distinct curve of the Florida coast early in the flight and the vast greenery of the Tennessee Valley mid-route. During the winter, this side offers the best views of snow-covered plains as you move north.
