CMH → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from John Glenn Columbus International Airport (Columbus) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
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.
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.
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.
