Miami to Cedar City is 2,082 miles (3,351 km), a flight of about 4 hours 30 minutes.
The right side delivers the standout views at both ends of the flight — Miami's coastal geography on departure and the dramatic Colorado Plateau escarpment on arrival. During the cruise over the Gulf Coast, Mississippi, and Texas, the right side also tends to offer better angles on the Gulf of Mexico shoreline and the Texas Hill Country before the terrain rises into the Southwest plateau country.
Flight Path
The flight tracks northwest over the Florida Everglades and Gulf Coast, then crosses the Gulf of Mexico shoreline near the Florida Panhandle or Alabama coast, continues over Mississippi and Louisiana lowlands, crosses the Texas Hill Country and Edwards Plateau, then traverses the Chihuahuan and Sonoran desert transition zones of New Mexico and Arizona before climbing onto the Colorado Plateau approaching Cedar City. The Four Corners region and the southern edge of the Great Basin are visible in the final hour.
