Chesapeake Bay
Glimpse the northern reaches of the Chesapeake Bay and the mouth of the Susquehanna River.
Delaware River
Follow the path of the Delaware River as it marks the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Manhattan Skyline
Enjoy a world-class view of the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and the dense Midtown skyline.
Statue of Liberty
During the final approach to runways 4L or 4R, look for Lady Liberty standing in the New York Harbor.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
Spot the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn in the distance.
Sit on the right side for the iconic 'New York' arrival. This is especially breathtaking at night when the Manhattan skyline is fully illuminated. Be aware that this is a very short flight (often under 40 minutes in the air), so have your camera ready within 15 minutes of takeoff.

Baltimore Suburbs
View the sprawling residential areas and rolling hills of northern Baltimore County and Harford County.
Philadelphia Skyline
Catch a distant view of Center City Philadelphia's skyscrapers as you traverse the I-95 corridor.
Northeast Corridor
Spot the busy Amtrak railway lines and the industrial heartland of central New Jersey.
Watchung Mountains
The low ridges of the Watchung Mountains become visible just before the final turn into Newark.
The left side is preferable if you want to see the industrial landscape of the East Coast. For the best experience, try a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Pennsylvania and New Jersey hills clearly.
