Which side of the plane to sit from Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (Cincinnati) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route, primarily for the approach into Newark. As the aircraft descends from the west or north, passengers on the left side are often treated to a panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center, especially during typical Runway 22 landings.

Cincinnati Skyline
Aerial views of downtown Cincinnati and the Great American Ball Park shortly after takeoff if departing to the north.
Allegheny Plateau
Dense forest canopies and deep river valleys across northern Pennsylvania's rugged terrain.
Susquehanna River
The wide, winding path of one of the oldest rivers in the world as it cuts through central Pennsylvania.
Delaware Water Gap
A stunning geographic feature where the Delaware River cuts through a large ridge of the Appalachian Mountains.
Manhattan Skyline
Breathtaking views of the New York City skyscrapers and Central Park during the final descent into Newark.
Book a window seat well ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the NYC skyline. Evening flights are spectacular as the city lights begin to glow, but try to avoid the very last light of day to ensure you can still see the geographic relief of the Appalachians. If landing on Runway 22L, the view of Manhattan is direct and world-class.

Ohio River Valley
Scenic vistas of the river's bends and the lush greenery bordering Kentucky and Ohio during initial climb.
Appalachian Ridges
Distinctive 'folded' mountain ridges of the Ridge-and-Valley province visible to the south.
Lancaster Farmlands
The beautiful, organized patchwork quilt of Pennsylvania Dutch Country farms.
Philadelphia Horizon
On clear days, the skyline of Philadelphia can be spotted in the distance to the south as you cross Pennsylvania.
New York Harbor
Views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Staten Island, and the industrial ports of New Jersey upon arrival.
The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid the direct northern sun glare. It offers a better perspective of the industrial infrastructure and coastal geography of the Jersey Shore and Staten Island during the final approach. This side is also generally better for observing the unique agricultural patterns of rural Pennsylvania.
