Which side of the plane to sit from Greater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field (Binghamton) to Philadelphia International Airport (Philadelphia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior perspective of the Pocono Mountains and the iconic Philadelphia skyline during the final approach.
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.
Valley Forge
Observe the expansive green canopy of the National Historical Park as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side offers better views of the Susquehanna River headwaters and the historic industrial landscape of the Lackawanna Valley.
