Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Orlando to Memphis. Both sides score equally at 2.0 due to the flat terrain dominating this 2-hour flight across the southeastern United States. However, the right side edges ahead for the landing approach: the Mississippi River's dramatic meanders and Memphis's bluff-top geography provide more visual interest than Orlando's sprawling flatness. The river's distinctive oxbow pattern is genuinely striking from altitude and makes the right side the better choice overall.

During takeoff from Orlando International (MCO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Orlando's urban sprawl and theme park infrastructure are visible on the left (west) side during departure. The city grid and developed areas provide more visual interest than the flat, undifferentiated terrain to the right. Notable sights include: Orlando downtown skyline, Lake Eustis to the northwest, theme park complexes (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT area), Interstate 4 corridor.

When landing at Memphis International (MEM), sit on the Right side for the best views. The right (east) side during approach to Memphis offers views of the Mississippi River's distinctive meanders and the river bluffs that define the city's geography. This provides more visual drama than the left side's flat terrain. Notable sights include: Mississippi River with characteristic oxbow bends, Memphis downtown skyline on the bluffs, Wolf River confluence, Shelby Farms area.

The flight from Orlando International (MCO) to Memphis International (MEM) takes 2h 05m.
