BNA → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Nashville International Airport (Nashville) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this northeast route, offering consistent views of the Appalachian ridges and the iconic Manhattan skyline during the descent into Newark.
Nashville Skyline
Aerial views of the Cumberland River and the Batman Building shortly after takeoff from BNA.
Appalachian Ridges
Dramatic views of the folded mountain ridges of West Virginia and Central Pennsylvania.
Manhattan Skyline
An unbeatable panoramic view of the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center on the final approach.
George Washington Bridge
Visible if the flight patterns follow the Hudson River corridor southward toward Newark.
For the best experience, select a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the New York City skyline. During morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing perfectly lit landscapes and better photo opportunities without glare.
Blue Ridge Mountains
The scenic eastern edge of the Appalachian chain visible through the mid-flight segment.
Susquehanna River
The wide, winding waters of one of the oldest river systems in the world crossing through Pennsylvania.
Statue of Liberty
A glimpse of Liberty Island and the harbor during the final banking turns into EWR.
Port Newark
Detailed views of the massive container ships and industrial infrastructure of the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Keep an eye out for the Atlantic coastline in the distance on clear days. If the airport is landing from the south, the right side provides a closer look at the Statue of Liberty and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, though it misses the main Manhattan skyline panorama.
