Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an exceptional view of the unique parallel geological folds of the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania and offers a superior angle for spotting the New York City skyline on the eastern horizon during the descent into Morristown.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

The iconic 'Ridge and Valley' province of central Pennsylvania, featuring long, perfectly parallel mountain folds.

⚓

Susquehanna River

A wide, shallow riverbed dotted with islands as the flight crosses near the city of Harrisburg.

🏭

Lehigh Valley

The industrial and urban corridor of Allentown and Bethlehem, including historic steel mill footprints.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the world-famous New York City skyline is visible to the east during the final descent phase.

🎢

Dorney Park

The colorful rollercoasters of the amusement park in Allentown are often visible from cruising altitude.

The right side is the photographer's choice for this route. For evening flights, the sunset reflects beautifully off the Susquehanna River and the NYC skyline. During autumn, the parallel ridges of Pennsylvania offer a spectacular display of fall foliage that is best observed from this southern-facing perspective.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Ohio River

Beautiful views of the winding river separating Ohio and Kentucky shortly after takeoff from CVG.

🏙️

Columbus Skyline

The capital of Ohio and its surrounding urban sprawl are visible to the north early in the flight.

🌲

Allegheny Plateau

Vast stretches of dense, forested highlands covering the northern half of Pennsylvania.

🏞️

Delaware Water Gap

A striking geographic feature where the Delaware River cuts through the Blue Mountain ridge at the NJ border.

🛶

Lake Hopatcong

New Jersey's largest freshwater lake serves as a major landmark during the final approach into MMU.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is ideal for viewing the Delaware Water Gap, which usually appears about 15 minutes before landing. Ensure your window is clear of frost to capture the dense forest textures of northern Pennsylvania.
