Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Charlotte to Fort Myers. While landing favors the left, the takeoff experience is more visually rewarding with the Catawba River valley and Piedmont terrain. Right-side seats capture the more dramatic departure scenery over the 90-minute flight.

During takeoff from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Catawba River valley and the Piedmont terrain rolling southward from Charlotte. The aircraft departs to the south-southwest, so right windows capture the landscape the plane is climbing over immediately after takeoff. Notable sights include: Catawba River, Lake Norman (north of departure path but visible on right), Piedmont rolling hills, Charlotte urban sprawl fading southward.

When landing at Southwest Florida International (RSW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Caloosahatchee River estuary, Sanibel Island, and the Gulf of Mexico coastline as the aircraft descends into Southwest Florida. The approach from the north brings these coastal features directly into view on the left side. Notable sights include: Caloosahatchee River estuary, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island barrier islands, Gulf of Mexico, Everglades wetlands (inland to the east).

The flight from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) to Southwest Florida International (RSW) takes 1h 30m.

South Carolina Lowcountry with scattered lakes and swamps, transition from Piedmont to Coastal Plain terrain, occasional glimpses of small rivers and wetland areas, gradual shift from forested uplands to flatter coastal geography
