Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Orlando to Bogota. While takeoff offers coastal views, the landing approach into Bogota provides the more dramatic and sustained visual experience. The Cordillera Oriental's steep rise from the savanna is a defining geographic feature of the approach, and left seats capture this mountain scenery directly. The flight path crosses the Caribbean and northern Colombia with limited distinctive landmarks visible at cruise altitude.

During takeoff from Orlando International (MCO), sit on the Right side for the best views. MCO typically departs runways 17L/R or 35L/R depending on wind. Right seats offer views of the Atlantic coast and the chain of barrier islands along Florida's east coast during initial climb. Left seats see inland lakes and swamps with less dramatic geography. Notable sights include: Atlantic Ocean, Brevard County barrier islands, Indian River Lagoon system, Lake Okeechobee (visible at distance during climb).

When landing at Eldorado International (BOG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching BOG from the north typically uses runways 13L/R. Left seats provide views of the Cordillera Oriental (Eastern Range) of the Colombian Andes as the aircraft descends into the Bogota savanna. The mountains dominate the western approach, and left-side passengers see them rise dramatically from the high plateau. Notable sights include: Cordillera Oriental (Eastern Range of Colombian Andes), Bogota savanna plateau, Río Magdalena valley (visible at distance), surrounding mountain ridges at 10,000-13,000 feet elevation.

The flight from Orlando International (MCO) to Eldorado International (BOG) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Caribbean Sea with no significant landmarks visible at cruise altitude (typically 35,000-37,000 feet). The aircraft passes over the Yucatan Channel and the Caribbean basin. As the aircraft approaches the Colombian coast near the Guajira Peninsula, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta becomes visible on the left (west) side during descent—a dramatic coastal mountain range. The Magdalena River valley becomes visible as descent continues toward Bogota, running roughly north-south through the interior. The final approach crosses the high Andean plateau where Bogota sits at 8,660 feet elevation.
