Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior perspective of the Atlantic coastline and the stunning turquoise waters of the Florida coast during the final descent into Fort Lauderdale.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Erie

Expansive views of the eastern portion of Lake Erie shortly after departing the Greater Toronto Area.

🏙️

Mid-Atlantic Corridor

Distal views of the lights and layout of major coastal hubs like Philadelphia and Baltimore.

🏖️

Outer Banks

Occasional sightings of the thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina stretching into the Atlantic.

⚓

Charleston Coastline

The historic harbor and intricate waterways of the South Carolina coast come into view mid-flight.

🌴

Florida Gold Coast

Unrivaled views of the Atlantic beaches and coastal development from West Palm Beach down to Fort Lauderdale.

Opt for the left side on morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also best for seeing the shoreline during the standard approach into FLL, which often involves a loop over the water before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

Detailed views of the ridge-and-valley province stretching through Pennsylvania and Virginia.

🏙️

Charlotte Skyline

A clear view of North Carolina's largest city and its distinct uptown skyscrapers.

💧

Central Florida Lakes

A patchwork of hundreds of inland lakes near the Orlando area during the southern leg of the journey.

🐊

The Everglades

The vast, emerald-green wetlands of the Florida Everglades visible during the descent into South Florida.

🏢

Fort Lauderdale Suburbs

The intricate canal systems and suburban sprawl of Broward County just before touchdown.

Select the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the inland geography and the unique ecosystem of the Everglades if the flight path approaches from the west.
