Which side of the plane to sit from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte) to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (Manchester NH)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring iconic views of the Manhattan skyline, the Long Island Sound, and the Massachusetts coastline on the approach into New England.
Manhattan Skyline
The absolute highlight of the route, featuring clear views of Central Park and the skyscraper dense island.
Long Island Sound
Vibrant blue waters and the intricate coastline of Connecticut and New York's northern shore.
Hudson River Bridges
Aerial perspectives of the George Washington Bridge and the Tappan Zee as you bypass NYC.
Boston Metro Area
During the northern descent, the skyline of Boston and its busy harbor are often visible to the east.
Sit on the right side for the best photography opportunities of New York City. For the clearest views of the NYC skyline, look out about 60-70 minutes into the flight. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct glare of the sun while illuminating the coastline.
Blue Ridge Foothills
View the rolling green peaks of the Appalachian chain shortly after departure from Charlotte.
Susquehanna River
A wide, winding view of one of the oldest river systems in the world as you cross Pennsylvania.
The Hudson Valley
Lush forested landscapes and the winding Hudson River north of the New York metropolitan area.
The Berkshires
Rugged New England terrain and dense forests visible as the plane descends toward New Hampshire.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Appalachian Mountains. This side provides better views of the rural landscapes of Pennsylvania and the Catskill mountains from a distance.
