Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River valley during the final descent into Westchester.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Atlanta Cityscape

Clear views of the downtown and Midtown Atlanta skylines shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Appalachian Mountains

The rolling ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains are visible during the early cruise phase.

🏞️

Shenandoah Valley

Beautiful views of the lush Virginia valley and the winding Potomac River.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

An iconic view of Central Park and the New York City skyscrapers during the approach.

🌉

George Washington Bridge

The massive bridge crossing the Hudson River is often visible just before landing.

Book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For evening flights, the sunset over the Appalachian range is stunning, followed by the sparkling lights of Manhattan. If the flight approaches HPN from the south, the left side is essential for the best NYC views.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Stone Mountain

The massive granite monadnock east of Atlanta is often visible if the departure path turns east.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

Vast views of the Mid-Atlantic coastline and the intricate waterways of Maryland.

🏛️

Washington D.C.

Distant views of the National Mall and the Potomac River basin.

⛵

Long Island Sound

The sparkling waters separating Long Island from the Connecticut coastline during the final turn.

🏡

Westchester Estates

Lush greenery and historic suburban estates as the plane nears White Plains.

The right side is generally better for avoiding the direct glare of the afternoon sun when flying northeast. Keep an eye out for Stone Mountain immediately after departure from ATL, and watch for the reflection of the sun on the Chesapeake Bay during the mid-flight cruise.
