BON → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Flamingo International Airport (Kralendijk) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic Caribbean views, the Right Side is the clear winner for the iconic final approach into Newark, which often provides a stunning panorama of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty.

Pekelmeer Salt Pans
The striking pink salt lakes and white salt pyramids of southern Bonaire visible during departure.
Turks and Caicos
Vibrant turquoise waters and shallow coral reefs scattered across the Atlantic south of the Bahamas.
Atlantic City
The famous boardwalk, casinos, and Steel Pier located on the southern New Jersey coast.
Statue of Liberty
An iconic close-up view of Liberty Island during the final minutes of flight.
Manhattan Skyline
A breathtaking view of the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and the dense urban core.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of New York City. During the final approach to runways 22L or 22R, the plane usually passes just west of Manhattan. Keep your camera ready for the last 10 minutes of the flight. For night flights, the glittering lights of the Eastern Seaboard cities are spectacular on this side.

Klein Bonaire
A small, flat uninhabited island visible just off the coast of Kralendijk shortly after takeoff.
Hispaniola Mountains
Views of the rugged Cordillera Central mountain range as you pass between the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
The Outer Banks
The long, thin chain of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina visible as you reach the US mainland.
Chesapeake Bay
The massive estuary and the complex engineering of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Jersey Shore
Bird's-eye views of Cape May and the long stretches of New Jersey beaches during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for seeing the transition from the deep blue Atlantic to the complex coastal geography of the Mid-Atlantic states. On clear days, look for the pentagon-shaped structures around Washington D.C. in the distance.
