Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Charlotte to Nassau. The right side wins overall because the takeoff view over Charlotte and the Piedmont is more interesting than the left, and during cruise the right side faces generally south-southeast giving views of the Atlantic coastline as you cross the Carolinas, the Gulf Stream color change, and the approach to the Bahamas still offers decent water views even if the left side is better for the final harbour approach.

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) oriented north-south mean southbound departures swing southeast over the Charlotte metro. The right side gives you a clear look back at uptown Charlotte's skyline and then out over the Piedmont as you climb out heading southeast toward the coast. Notable sights include: Uptown Charlotte skyline, Lake Norman to the northwest (visible looking back), Lake Wylie to the southwest, Piedmont farmland patchwork.

When landing at Nassau International (NAS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Nassau International sits on the northwest end of New Providence Island, and aircraft typically approach from the northwest or north on runway 14/32. On approach from the north, the left side gives you the best view of Nassau Harbour, Paradise Island, and the vivid shallow turquoise waters of the Bahama Banks. Notable sights include: Nassau Harbour and downtown Nassau waterfront, Paradise Island and Atlantis resort complex, turquoise Bahama Banks shallow water, New Providence Island coastline.

The flight from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) to Nassau International (NAS) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast from Charlotte across the South Carolina Piedmont, crossing over or near Columbia SC, then over the South Carolina Lowcountry and coastal marshes near the Grand Strand. It crosses the Atlantic coastline somewhere near Myrtle Beach or the northern South Carolina coast, then flies over open Atlantic Ocean. The vivid blue-to-turquoise color transition of the Gulf Stream is visible below around the midpoint over open water. The flight then crosses the Little Bahama Bank's shallow turquoise shoals before descending toward New Providence Island.
