El Avila National Park
Spectacular views of the coastal mountain range separating Caracas from the Caribbean Sea immediately after takeoff.
Bahamian Archipelago
Breathtaking sights of the Exumas and Eleuthera, featuring white sandbars and varying shades of turquoise water.
Manhattan Skyline
If the flight path approaches from the north or west, passengers get a direct view of Central Park and New York skyscrapers.
Miami Coastline
Distant views of the Florida peninsula and its vibrant coastline during the mid-portion of the flight path.
Choose the left side (window A) for the most iconic arrival views. On day flights, the Bahamas provide the visual highlight. For night flights, you will see the dense lights of the US East Coast. Avoid sitting over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the island chains and the final approach into New York.

Atlantic Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the transition of water colors from the Caribbean basin.
Outer Banks
Distinguishable views of the thin barrier islands of North Carolina as the plane tracks along the US coastline.
Long Island South Shore
Detailed views of the Hamptons, Fire Island, and the suburban sprawl of Long Island during the final descent.
Ocean Sunrise
On early morning departures, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun rising over the open Atlantic horizon.
The right side (window K) is best for morning flights to avoid direct afternoon sun glare. It offers a more tranquil experience over the open ocean before showcasing the New York shoreline. This side is particularly interesting during the final 20 minutes of the flight when passing over the residential areas of Long Island and the Rockaways.
