Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an exceptional perspective of the Atlantic coastline, the unique barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and the historic Space Coast of Florida.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Outer Banks

Stunning views of the thin ribbon of North Carolina barrier islands and the distinct line where the Sound meets the Atlantic.

🚀

Cape Canaveral

Keep an eye out for the Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads at Kennedy Space Center during the descent into Orlando.

🌊

Atlantic Shoreline

Continuous views of the eastern seaboard, from the rugged Maine coast to the white sands of the Carolinas.

🏙️

Boston Harbor

Aerial perspective of the historic harbor islands and the downtown Boston skyline as the flight proceeds south.

🚢

Chesapeake Bay

A massive view of the bay's mouth, including the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

Book a left-side seat for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also strategically better for spotting NASA's launch facilities. Be aware that winter flights may see more cloud cover over the ocean, while summer flights offer the clearest coastal visibility.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Appalachian Forests

Dense evergreen and deciduous forests stretching across the New Brunswick and Maine border region.

🌆

Northeast Megalopolis

Views of the dense urban corridor including the distant skylines of New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

The rolling, ancient mountain silhouettes visible to the west throughout the mid-flight segment.

🐊

Florida Lake District

The landscape transforms into a patchwork of thousands of small, circular lakes as you enter Central Florida.

🌃

City Lights

A spectacular continuous string of lights from major American cities during night-time transits.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. For night flights, this side offers the best view of the brilliantly lit cities of the Eastern Seaboard. During landing at MCO, look for the distant icons of major theme parks if the flight approaches from the west.
