BOG โ†’ JFK

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this northbound journey, offering views of the massive Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains early in the flight and the iconic Manhattan skyline during the final approach into JFK.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The highest coastal mountain range in the world, with snow-capped peaks rising directly from the Caribbean Sea.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

The Bahamas

Stunning shades of turquoise water and coral reefs as the plane traverses the Caribbean island chain.

๐Ÿš€

Kennedy Space Center

The launch pads and Vehicle Assembly Building at Cape Canaveral are often visible along the Florida coast.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

The Outer Banks

The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina stretching out into the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.

๐Ÿ—ฝ

Manhattan Skyline

One of the world's most famous views; look for the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center during the 'Parkway Visual' approach.

For the best experience, book a window seat on the right side for a morning flight to avoid direct sun glare while enjoying the vibrant blues of the Caribbean. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is usually visible 45-60 minutes after departure. To see the NYC skyline, hope for a landing on Runway 13L or 31R, which frequently treats right-side passengers to a panoramic view of the city.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Sabana de Bogotรก

Expansive views of the high-altitude plateau and the northern urban sprawl of Bogota immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ

Magdalena River

The winding path of Colombia's principal river as it snakes through the valley towards the Caribbean.

๐ŸŠ

Florida Everglades

Vast, grassy wetlands and intricate water patterns visible when crossing into the United States mainland.

๐ŸŽฐ

Atlantic City

The bright lights and distinct coastline of the Jersey Shore, including the famous boardwalk and piers.

๐Ÿš

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

A close-up view of the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn during the final descent.

Sit on the left if you prefer views of the Colombian interior and the Gulf Coast of Florida. This side is also excellent for evening flights as you can watch the sunset over the horizon while cruising over the Atlantic. During the landing phase, you may get a clearer view of the Jersey Shore and the industrial ports of New Jersey before touchdown.
