Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the volcanic chain of the Leeward Islands immediately after takeoff and follows the intricate US East Coast shoreline during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Montserrat

View the dramatic Soufriere Hills volcano and the ash-covered remains of Plymouth shortly after departure.

🏝️

St. Kitts and Nevis

The striking volcanic peaks of Mount Liamuiga and Nevis Peak dominate the Caribbean horizon.

🏖️

Outer Banks

The thin, sandy ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands is often visible as you rejoin the coast.

🌊

Chesapeake Bay

A massive view of the bay's mouth, including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and Norfolk naval base.

🏙️

Atlantic City

The dense cluster of casinos and the historic boardwalk of the Jersey Shore during the final approach phase.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the active volcanic features of the Caribbean. For morning flights, this side avoids the harsh glare of the rising sun over the Atlantic. During the descent into Newark, keep your camera ready for the transition from the North Carolina capes to the urban sprawl of the Northeast Corridor.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Barbuda

Depending on the departure path, look out for the low-lying, coral-fringed sister island of Antigua.

🌊

The Gulf Stream

Observe the deep indigo blue of the powerful Atlantic current contrasting with shallower coastal waters.

🌉

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

A grand view of the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn during the EWR approach.

🗽

Statue of Liberty

If the flight approaches from the south, you may spot Lady Liberty standing in the New York Harbor.

🏢

Lower Manhattan

The iconic skyline, including One World Trade Center, is frequently visible on clear days during the final turn.

The right side is the 'all or nothing' choice. The middle of the flight is dominated by the open Atlantic Ocean, but the final five minutes can be spectacular. If the plane is landing toward the north (Runway 4L/R), you will have an incredible view of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty.
