Cleveland Skyline
A clear view of the Terminal Tower and Key Tower if the flight departs toward the east.
Pocono Mountains
Dense forest canopies and rolling ridges of the Appalachian range during the descent phase.
Manhattan Skyline
Unparalleled views of the One World Trade Center, Empire State Building, and Central Park during the Newark approach.
MetLife Stadium
The massive sports complex in the Meadowlands is often visible just minutes before landing.
For the best experience, book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On evening flights, the left side provides a spectacular view of the Manhattan lights. During the 'Stadium Visual' approach to EWR, this side is essential for seeing the NYC landmarks.
