Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Providenciales to Charlotte. The left side delivers the spectacular Caribbean departure over the Caicos Bank and reef system, which is genuinely one of the most visually striking departures in the Atlantic. The Charlotte arrival on the right is good but relatively ordinary Piedmont scenery. The Caribbean departure experience outweighs the landing advantage.

During takeoff from Providenciales (PLS), sit on the Left side for the best views. PLS runway 10/28 means departures heading northwest will bank left, putting the left side over the stunning turquoise shallows of the Caicos Bank and the barrier reef system. The water color contrast between the deep Caicos Passage and the shallow bank is extraordinary from altitude. Notable sights include: Caicos Bank shallow turquoise flats, Grace Bay beach and reef line, North Caicos island to the northwest, deep blue Caicos Passage channel.

When landing at Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Right side for the best views. CLT typically uses runways 18C/36C or 18L/36L for arrivals from the south. Arriving from the south on a northbound approach, the right side faces east and gives a clear view of the Charlotte skyline and the Piedmont urban sprawl. The left side faces west toward less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Charlotte uptown skyline, Lake Norman reservoir to the north, Catawba River corridor, Lake Wylie to the southwest visible on right side during base turn.

The flight from Providenciales (PLS) to Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The flight tracks northwest over the Bahamas archipelago — Great Inagua, then the central Bahamas chain including Crooked Island and Long Island are visible below in the first hour. Over Cuba's northern coast briefly or skirting it depending on routing. Then the Florida Straits and possibly the Florida peninsula tip before crossing over Georgia and the Carolinas. The Appalachian foothills become visible in the final 30 minutes as the terrain rises slightly approaching Charlotte.
