Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the intricate barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and a stunning perspective of the New York City skyline upon approach to Newark.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏖️

The Grand Strand

Clear views of Myrtle Beach's long, sandy shoreline and coastal resorts immediately after departure.

🌊

The Outer Banks

The dramatic, thin barrier islands of North Carolina, including the distinctive Cape Hatteras area.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

Crossing the mouth of the massive bay with views of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

🎰

Atlantic City

The high-rise casinos and historic boardwalk of the Jersey Shore visible as you head north.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

On the final approach to EWR, you often get a world-class view of the Statue of Liberty and New York City.

The right side is essential for the best experience. For morning flights, the sun is over the ocean, so use a window shade if it's too bright until you reach the mid-Atlantic. The approach into Newark (runways 4L/4R) frequently offers the best NYC views from this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Lowcountry Forests

Deep green pine forests and river basins of northern South Carolina and inland North Carolina.

🏙️

Richmond & DC

Distant views of the Virginia capital and the sprawling urban footprint of Washington D.C. to the west.

🏘️

Philadelphia Suburbs

Dense suburban grids and historic industrial corridors stretching toward the Delaware River.

🌳

New Jersey Interior

The 'Garden State' landscapes including the Pine Barrens and central Jersey parklands.

Sit on the left for sunset views during evening flights. While less scenic coastally, it provides a better sense of the Northeast Corridor's urban density. Watch for the lights of Baltimore and Philly at night.
