Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Charlotte to Belgaum.

During takeoff from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Right side for the best views. CLT's primary departure runways (18C/36C and 18L/36L) mean northbound or southbound climbs. On a northeast-bound departure toward the Atlantic, the right side gives views over uptown Charlotte's skyline and then the Piedmont rolling toward the Appalachian foothills. The left side faces west toward the airport complex and suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Uptown Charlotte skyline, Lake Norman to the north, Catawba River corridor, Piedmont farmland patchwork.

When landing at Belgaum (IXG), sit on the Left side for the best views. IXG (Belgaum/Belagavi Airport) sits on the Deccan Plateau near the Karnataka-Goa border.

The right side looks north over flat agricultural plateau. Notable sights include: Western Ghats escarpment edge, Malaprabha River valley, Belagavi city and fort area, Deccan Plateau agricultural patchwork.
