CLE → TTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (Cleveland) to Trenton Mercer Airport (Trenton)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic geological 'folds' of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians and the expansive Susquehanna River crossing.
Cuyahoga Valley
Aerial views of the winding Cuyahoga River and the lush greenery of the National Park south of Cleveland.
Appalachian Ridges
Spectacular views of the 'S-curve' mountain folds that define the central Pennsylvania landscape.
Susquehanna River
A massive river crossing, often near Harrisburg, featuring wide channels and numerous wooded islands.
Lehigh Valley
Distant views of the Allentown and Bethlehem urban areas nestled between the mountain ranges.
Trenton Approach
Low-altitude views of the Delaware River and the historic Washington Crossing area just before touchdown.
The right side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is in the southwest, creating long shadows that accentuate the depth of the Appalachian valleys. Watch for the distinct 'stripe' patterns of the mountain ridges roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight.
Lake Erie Coastline
Stunning views of the Cleveland shoreline and the 'Gold Coast' immediately after takeoff from CLE.
Allegheny Plateau
A vast expanse of deep green forest and rugged terrain across northern Pennsylvania.
The Poconos
Rolling highlands and resort lakes visible as the aircraft begins its initial descent toward New Jersey.
Delaware Water Gap
The famous notch where the Delaware River carves through the Appalachian mountainside near the border.
Sit on the left for coastal views during departure. In the morning, this side provides soft, diffused light, making it ideal for photography without the harsh glare of the southern sun.
