The flight path crosses the Appalachian foothills of Pennsylvania and West Virginia (visible as subtle elevation changes and ridge lines during cruise), then transitions into the flatter terrain of the Carolinas and Georgia. The Atlantic Coastal Plain becomes increasingly evident as the aircraft moves southward. Over central Florida, the flat terrain and scattered lakes of the peninsula become visible, with the transition from interior scrubland to coastal wetlands occurring in the final 30 minutes of flight.
