Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Miami to Orlando. The left side delivers the best views at both ends of this short flight. Departing Miami you get the full bay and skyline panorama, and arriving into Orlando the left side faces the lake-studded Central Florida interior. The right side offers the Everglades on departure and less distinctive terrain on arrival.

During takeoff from Miami International (MIA), sit on the Left side for the best views. MIA primarily departs on runways 08R/08L heading east, then turns north toward Orlando. A left (north-facing) seat gives you a clear view of downtown Miami's skyline, Biscayne Bay, and the barrier islands of Miami Beach as you climb and bank northward. The right side faces inland toward the Everglades with less visual drama during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Downtown Miami skyline, Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach barrier island, Port of Miami cruise terminals.

When landing at Orlando International (MCO), sit on the Left side for the best views. MCO typically lands on runways 17L/17R heading south, or 35L/35R heading north depending on winds. On a southbound approach from the north, the left side faces east toward the Space Coast and the visible launch infrastructure at Kennedy Space Center on the horizon. On a northbound approach, the left side still captures the urban sprawl of Orlando and the distinctive circular geometry of Walt Disney World's theme park layout to the southwest. Notable sights include: Orlando urban sprawl, Walt Disney World resort complex (visible circular park layouts), Lake Tohopekaliga chain of lakes, Kennedy Space Center Vehicle Assembly Building on distant horizon.

The flight from Miami International (MIA) to Orlando International (MCO) takes Approximately 45-55 minutes.

The flight tracks north-northwest over the flat limestone plain of South Florida, crossing the northern Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve, then over Lake Okeechobee — one of the largest freshwater lakes in the US and clearly visible as a massive dark oval from altitude — before crossing the agricultural flatlands of Glades and Highlands counties into the lake-dense Central Florida ridge region around Kissimmee.
