Endless Mountains
Serene and scenic views of the rolling hills and high plateaus of northern Pennsylvania.
Presque Isle State Park
A stunning view of the sandy peninsula arching out into Lake Erie near the city of Erie, Pennsylvania.
Lake Erie Crossing
Vast blue expanses of the Great Lake, often dotted with massive cargo ships heading toward the Detroit River.
Ambassador Bridge
The international bridge connecting the United States and Canada, visible just before touchdown.
Detroit Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Renaissance Center and the downtown core, especially when landing on runways 22L or 22R.
The right side is the 'money' side for this route. For the best experience, try to book a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Detroit skyline. In winter, keep an eye out for dramatic ice formations on Lake Erie, which are particularly visible from this side.
