Detroit-Windsor Corridor
A high-altitude perspective of the Ambassador Bridge and the industrial skyline of Detroit and Windsor.
Lake Erie Islands
Excellent views of Put-in-Bay and Kelleys Island dotting the western basin of the lake.
Wabash River Meanders
The intricate, winding loops of the Wabash River as the plane crosses the Indiana-Illinois border.
The Gateway Arch
Depending on the arrival runway, the right side often captures the iconic stainless steel monument during the final approach.
Sit in the front half of the cabin to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of the St. Louis skyline. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights, as you'll see the orange glow reflecting off the Great Lakes and the Gateway Arch upon arrival.

Indianapolis Metro

Book an early morning flight for the best lighting over the Great Lakes. The sun will be on the left side during the southern leg of the trip, so keep the window shade partially down if you want to avoid direct glare while spotting the Indianapolis city center.
