YNG → PIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Youngstown Warren Regional Airport (Youngstown) to St Petersburg Clearwater International Airport (St. Petersburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the winding Ohio River, the distant Great Smoky Mountains, and a spectacular coastal approach over the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay upon arrival.
The Ohio River
Watch for the massive, winding silver ribbon marking the border of Ohio and West Virginia.
Great Smoky Mountains
Western views of the highest peaks in the Appalachian range near the TN/NC border.
Atlanta Perimeter
Aerial perspectives of the massive Hartsfield-Jackson airport and the Atlanta skyline.
Florida Nature Coast
The transition from marshlands to the clear turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Sunshine Skyway Bridge
The iconic yellow-cabled bridge spanning Tampa Bay is often visible during the PIE approach.
The right side is unbeatable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun glare. During the descent, the aircraft often turns over the Gulf, providing a panoramic view of the St. Pete beaches and the Clearwater shoreline before touchdown.
Allegheny Plateau
Dense forest canopies and deeply dissected plateaus of West Virginia.
Charlotte Distant Skyline
Depending on the corridor, the Queen City skyline may be visible to the east.
Lake Lanier
A massive reservoir in northern Georgia recognizable by its jagged shoreline.
Ocala National Forest
The southernmost forest in the continental United States, appearing as a sea of green.
Orlando Attractions
Distant views of major theme park landmarks as you descend into central Florida.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy a vibrant sunrise over the Appalachian ridges. Keep an eye out for the unique 'island' patterns in the Florida lake districts during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
