Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from West Palm Beach to Charlotte. The right side wins overall. The Atlantic coastline view during departure from PBI is the most visually dramatic moment of this short flight, and the right side also tracks the eastern Piedmont and catches glimpses of the Carolina foothills as you approach Charlotte. The left side's Charlotte skyline on landing is notable but brief.

During takeoff from Palm Beach International (PBI), sit on the Right side for the best views. PBI's primary departure runway 10L/28R means northbound departures typically use runway 28R, heading west then turning north. The right side gives you the Atlantic Ocean, Palm Beach Island, and the Intracoastal Waterway as you climb out and bank northward. The left side faces inland toward the Everglades. Notable sights include: Palm Beach Island and its barrier strip, Lake Worth Lagoon (Intracoastal Waterway), the Atlantic Ocean coastline, downtown West Palm Beach.

When landing at Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Charlotte Douglas primarily uses runways 18C/36C and 18L/36R oriented north-south. Arriving from the south, aircraft typically land heading north on runway 36, meaning the left side faces west toward Uptown Charlotte's skyline and the Catawba River. The right side looks east over suburban sprawl with fewer distinctive features. Notable sights include: Uptown Charlotte skyline, Catawba River and Lake Wylie to the southwest, Charlotte Douglas airport ramp and terminals, I-85/I-77 interchange corridor.

The flight from Palm Beach International (PBI) to Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) takes Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The flight tracks north-northwest over central Florida briefly, then crosses into Georgia near the Okefenokee Swamp region, before entering the South Carolina Piedmont. Over the Carolinas, the terrain transitions from flat coastal plain to gently rolling Piedmont farmland and pine forest. The Pee Dee River basin and Lake Wateree in South Carolina are visible below on clear days. No significant mountain ranges are crossed — the Blue Ridge is well to the northwest of this route.
