Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lexington to Detroit. The right side during takeoff offers the most visually distinctive scenery—the Kentucky River valley and Bluegrass terrain are more geographically interesting than the landing approach. While the landing favors the left, the takeoff views are superior.

Climbing northeast from LEX, the right side offers views of the Kentucky River valley and the Bluegrass region's rolling terrain. The left side faces away from notable features during initial climb. Notable sights include: Kentucky River valley, Bluegrass plateau rolling hills, Lexington urban area receding below, scattered farmland patchwork.
