Which side of the plane to sit from Nantucket Memorial Airport (Nantucket) to Teterboro Airport (Teterboro)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Long Island shoreline and a breathtaking, panoramic view of the entire Manhattan skyline during the descent into the New York metro area.
The Hamptons
Exquisite views of the elite beach estates and pristine white sands of Southampton and East Hampton shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Fire Island National Seashore
The long, narrow barrier island provides a striking contrast between the Great South Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Manhattan Skyline
A world-class view of the One World Trade Center, Empire State Building, and the dense skyscrapers of the financial district on approach.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
Visible as the aircraft maneuvers towards the New Jersey side, marking the entrance to New York Harbor.
Book an evening flight to see the Manhattan skyline illuminated; the aircraft usually flies south of the city before turning north for Teterboro, placing the city perfectly in your window. Avoid midday sun glare by sitting on the left during westward morning flights.
Elizabeth Islands
A chain of small, rugged islands stretching southwest from Cape Cod visible immediately after takeoff from Nantucket.
Long Island Sound
Vast views of the maritime traffic and the Connecticut coastline across the water to the north.
Central Park
Depending on the specific arrival vector, you may get a direct overhead view of the massive green rectangle in the center of Manhattan.
George Washington Bridge
A clear view of the upper Hudson River and the suspension bridge connecting Manhattan to New Jersey during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for spotting the North Shore's 'Gold Coast' mansions. On clear days, you can see as far north as the Westchester hills. If the wind is from the north, your final approach will bring you very close to the Hudson River Palisades.
