Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Miami to Tallahassee. The right side delivers the most dramatic scenery at the most important moment — the Miami departure over Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic coastline is visually spectacular and unique. The cruise through central Florida on this short flight is mostly flat pine forest on both sides, so the takeoff view is the decisive factor.

On the common eastward approach to runway 9, aircraft come in from the west over forested terrain. A left-side seat on approach gives views toward Lake Jackson and the Florida State Capitol dome area as you descend over the pine flatwoods north of the city. Notable sights include: Lake Jackson, Florida State Capitol building area, Apalachicola National Forest pine flatwoods, Lake Talquin to the west.
