Ozark National Forest
Fly over the dense canopy and rugged terrain of the Ozark Mountains in northern Arkansas.
Mississippi River
Cross the massive meanders of the Mississippi River, often visible as it marks the border between state lines.
Appalachian Ridges
View the distinctive parallel 'Ridge-and-Valley' geological formations of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Manhattan Skyline
On final approach to EWR, this side typically offers a stunning view of Central Park, Midtown, and the World Trade Center.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the New York City skyline upon landing. Morning flights are preferred as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing window glare.
