Right Side Highlights

Pocono Plateau

A vast expanse of forested highlands and resort lakes visible during the mid-flight cruise.

🏭

Lehigh Valley

Spot the historic industrial sites of Allentown and Bethlehem while flying south toward the coast.

🏙️

Center City Skyline

Unobstructed views of Philadelphia's tallest skyscrapers including the Comcast Technology Center.

🌉

Delaware River

Follow the winding river border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey on the final approach leg.

Select the right side for the quintessential 'city view' landing at PHL. Sunset flights are particularly scenic as the Delaware River reflects the changing sky and the Philadelphia skyline begins to illuminate.

⛰️

Endless Mountains

View the rugged, rolling plateau of Northern Pennsylvania immediately after departure from Binghamton.

🏘️

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

See the historic coal region's urban center nestled within the Wyoming Valley.

🌳
