🗽

Manhattan Skyline

A spectacular view of the skyscrapers of Midtown and Lower Manhattan including the One World Trade Center.

🌳

Central Park

The iconic green rectangle of New York City clearly visible from the air during the approach.

🌊

Hudson River

The dramatic cliffs of the Palisades and the wide river basin leading toward the airport.

Sit on the left for the most iconic views of the New York City skyline. Opt for a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view. During the autumn months, the foliage over the Hudson Valley and Westchester area is exceptionally vibrant and best viewed from this side.
