Aruba Shoreline
Aerial views of Eagle Beach and Palm Beach immediately following takeoff from Oranjestad.
Bahama Banks
Vibrant turquoise water and coral reef patterns while overflying the Exumas and Great Bahama Bank.
The Outer Banks
The distinct, thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching along the Atlantic coast.
Atlantic City
The famous boardwalk and high-rise casinos of New Jersey's premier coastal resort city.
Statue of Liberty
An unparalleled view of Lady Liberty and Ellis Island as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Manhattan Skyline
Full panoramic views of the One World Trade Center and the dense skyscrapers of Lower and Midtown Manhattan.
To avoid harsh glare from the sun when flying north during the day, the left side is generally better. For the best NYC skyline views on arrival, check if the flight is landing on Runways 4L or 4R, as this usually provides a direct view of Manhattan to the left. If the flight is in the evening, the city lights are spectacular.
