Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the iconic view of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty during the final approach into Newark, especially when landing from the south.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

St. George's Town

The historic UNESCO World Heritage site and its surrounding forts visible shortly after takeoff.

⚓

Sandy Hook

The iconic curved sand spit of the Gateway National Recreation Area reaching out into the bay.

🗽

Statue of Liberty

A close-up aerial view of Lady Liberty as the plane begins its final alignment with Newark's runways.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Sweeping panoramas of the Financial District, One World Trade Center, and the Midtown skyline.

🌉

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

The massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn seen during the harbor approach.

For the best experience, sit on the right side and hope for an arrival from the south. The 'Stadium Visual' approach provides the best views of the NYC skyline. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photos of the city as the sun will be behind you.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏝️

Bermuda North Shore

Vibrant turquoise waters and coral reefs visible immediately after departing L.F. Wade International.

🌊

Atlantic Shelf

The dramatic transition from the deep blue Atlantic to the lighter green coastal waters of the U.S. East Coast.

🏖️

Jersey Shoreline

Views of the barrier islands and beach towns along the New Jersey coast like Long Beach Island.

🏗️

Port Newark

Industrial views of the massive shipping container terminals and crane systems just before touchdown.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare as the aircraft travels northwest. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to catch the New Jersey coastline and the Barnegat Lighthouse if the approach path allows.
