Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior primarily for the iconic arrival experience, offering panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River during the final descent into Newark.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Austin Skyline

Immediately after departure from AUS, catch views of the Texas State Capitol and the growing downtown skyline.

🌲

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🎸

Memphis Vibe

Look south to spot the Memphis skyline and the iconic pyramid on the banks of the Mississippi.

🛶

Susquehanna River

Watch for the broad, shallow waters of the Susquehanna River as it cuts through the Pennsylvania landscape.

🔔

Philadelphia

On a clear day, Philadelphia's Center City skyscrapers are visible in the distance to the east.

🚢

Newark Bay

View the massive container ships and industrial infrastructure of the Port of New York and New Jersey.

🗽

Statue of Liberty

Depending on the landing pattern, you may get a distant look at the Statue of Liberty and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

Select the right side for afternoon or sunset flights to witness the golden hour glow over the Appalachian Mountains. If the plane approaches Newark from the north, this side may provide a closer look at the Statue of Liberty.
