Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River during the final descent into Newark, especially when landing on Runways 22L or 22R.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Allegheny Plateau

View the deeply dissected plateau of western Pennsylvania with its rugged, forest-covered hills.

🌊

Susquehanna River

Cross the wide, winding Susquehanna River near Wilkes-Barre, showcasing massive bridge structures.

🌲

The Poconos

Fly over the popular Pocono Mountains, known for their dense woodlands and numerous resort lakes.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

An iconic, unobstructed view of the New York City skyline, including the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center.

🌉

George Washington Bridge

Spot the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge connecting New Jersey to Upper Manhattan.

Book a window seat on the left (A) for the best chance to see NYC. During evening flights, the sunset illuminates the skyline in gold. If the plane approaches from the north, you will fly directly past the island of Manhattan at a low altitude.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛤️

Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians

Observe the unique parallel ridges of the Appalachian Mountains stretching across central Pennsylvania.

🏛️

Harrisburg & State Capitol

Catch a glimpse of Pennsylvania's capital city and its historic architecture located along the riverbanks.

💧

Delaware Water Gap

View the scenic breach where the Delaware River cuts through the Blue Mountains.

🏗️

Port Newark

A bird's eye view of one of the busiest shipping ports in the United States during the final approach.

Choose the right side (F) for interesting geological formations over Pennsylvania. This side is better during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It also offers a great view of the massive cargo ships at Port Newark just before touchdown.
