Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from San Jose to Orlando. While landing views on the left are strong, the takeoff experience on the right—with the dramatic volcanic peaks of Costa Rica's Cordillera Central—provides the most visually distinctive and geographically significant moment of the flight. The climb-out scenery is more dramatic than the approach to Orlando.

During takeoff from Juan Santamaria International (SJO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer immediate views of the Central Valley and the volcanic peaks that dominate Costa Rica's geography. The aircraft departs northeastward, and right-side windows capture the Cordillera Central mountain range and the surrounding terrain as you climb out of San Jose. Notable sights include: Cordillera Central (volcanic peaks including Irazú and Turrialba volcanoes to the east), Central Valley agricultural plains, Caribbean coastal plains visible at higher altitude.

When landing at Orlando International (MCO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the approach to Orlando. The aircraft descends from the northwest, and left windows capture the Florida peninsula's distinctive geography—lakes, wetlands, and the urban sprawl of the Orlando metropolitan area. Notable sights include: Lake Apopka (large freshwater lake west of Orlando), Florida's central lake district and wetlands, Orlando urban development and downtown skyline, Atlantic coastal ridge visible on the horizon.

The flight from Juan Santamaria International (SJO) to Orlando International (MCO) takes 3h 25m.

Yucatan Peninsula (visible as you cross the Gulf of Mexico, with its distinctive flat limestone terrain and cenote lakes), Gulf of Mexico coastline including the Yucatan Channel, Florida's western Gulf Coast and Big Bend region, central Florida's lake district
