Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Chicago to Greensboro. The left side scores equally on scenic merit but wins on takeoff experience. Chicago's dramatic urban skyline and Lake Michigan provide immediate, recognizable visual interest during climb-out that exceeds the Piedmont's rolling but less distinctive landing approach. Both sides offer modest scenic value for this 2-hour regional flight over relatively flat to gently rolling terrain.

During takeoff from Chicago Ohare International (ORD), sit on the Left side for the best views.

Notable sights include: Chicago downtown skyline and Willis Tower, Lake Michigan shoreline, Chicago harbor and Navy Pier, suburban sprawl transitioning to farmland.

When landing at Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), sit on the Right side for the best views.

Passengers see the transition from farmland to suburban development and the airport's location within the Piedmont landscape. Notable sights include: Piedmont rolling hills and forest patches, suburban development around Greensboro, Guilford County farmland, GSO airport and surrounding runway infrastructure.
