CLT

When landing at Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Left side for the best views. CLT's most common landing (runway 18R) brings you in from the north heading south, and Charlotte's uptown skyline sits just east of the runway centerline. That puts the skyline on the left side of the aircraft during the final few minutes of the approach, giving a nice angled view of the city's high-rises before touchdown. Notable sights include: Uptown Charlotte skyline, Charlotte Motor Speedway (visible earlier in descent to the north), Lake Norman in the distance, suburban Charlotte neighborhoods along the approach corridor.
