Clear views of Center City skyscrapers and the Delaware River as the plane tracks north.
Manhattan
Spectacular distant views of the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the NYC skyline.
New Haven
Look for the historic Yale University campus and the layout of the 'Elm City' in Connecticut.
Downtown Boston

The Berkshires Edge
As you move inland over Connecticut and Massachusetts, enjoy the rolling green hills of the New England landscape.
Choose the left side for the best urban sightseeing. To avoid the harsh morning sun reflecting off the windows when flying north, opt for an afternoon flight. Pay close attention about 25-30 minutes after takeoff for the New York City flyby.

Chesapeake Bay
Expansive views of the bay's northern reaches and the Susquehanna River mouth after takeoff.
Jersey Shore
Vistas of the Atlantic coastline and the barrier islands stretching toward New York.
Long Island Sound
A constant companion for much of the flight, offering views of the Connecticut coastline and Long Island.
Narragansett Bay
Excellent views of the bridges and islands surrounding Newport, Rhode Island.
Boston Harbor Islands
If landing on Runway 4R, you will fly directly over the scenic harbor islands and historic lighthouses.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy coastal scenery and water vistas. During morning flights, be prepared for significant glare from the sun over the Atlantic. In winter, the frozen bays and snow-covered coastlines provide high-contrast views.
