Boston Skyline
Spectacular views of the Back Bay and Financial District if departing on a westerly runway.
Midtown Manhattan
A world-class view of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Central Park as you descend.
George Washington Bridge
The massive suspension bridge connecting New Jersey and Manhattan over the Hudson River.
MetLife Stadium
Clear views of the home of the Giants and Jets in the Meadowlands just before touchdown.
Hudson River
Follow the path of the river as it flows between the Palisades and the Manhattan skyscrapers.
The right side is the 'money side' for New York City views. Aim for a window seat ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Manhattan. Night flights are particularly stunning as the city lights are incredibly dense on this side.
