Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Northeast Corridor, including potential bird's-eye views of the New York City skyline, the Jersey Shore, and the scenic Long Island Sound coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

Clear views of the Center City skyscrapers and the Delaware River as the flight moves through the busy mid-Atlantic corridor.

🗽

New York City

A spectacular vantage point of Manhattan, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty depending on the specific air traffic arrival route.

🌊

Long Island Sound

The sparkling blue waters and complex coastline separating New York from the Connecticut shore.

🏖️

Connecticut Shoreline

Charming coastal towns, marinas, and rocky inlets visible as the plane turns northward toward New Hampshire.

For a nighttime flight, the right side is unbeatable for viewing the 'Megacity' lights from DC to Boston. Keep your camera ready about 75-90 minutes after takeoff for the New York City transition. In winter, this side offers great views of the frozen bays and snow-dusted coastal salt marshes.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Aerial views of the iconic rolling ridges and dense forests of the Appalachian range shortly after departure.

🌲

Shenandoah National Park

Lush green corridors and the winding Skyline Drive visible as the plane traverses the Virginia wilderness.

🏙️

Hudson River Valley

The majestic Hudson River carving through the landscape of upstate New York near the flight's final descent stage.

🏔️

The Berkshires

Picturesque hills and rural New England landscapes appearing as the flight crosses into Massachusetts.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the unique 'ridge and valley' geographic formations of central Pennsylvania roughly 60 minutes into the flight. During autumn, this side provides the best views of the vibrant foliage covering the Appalachian mountain chain.
