CVG → TTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (Cincinnati) to Trenton Mercer Airport (Trenton)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior departure view of the Cincinnati skyline and more dramatic perspectives of the Appalachian mountain ridges during the cruise phase.
Cincinnati Downtown
View the city center and Great American Ball Park shortly after takeoff if departing to the east.
Appalachian Ridges
See the unique fold-and-thrust belt of the Pennsylvania mountains with their distinct parallel lines.
Susquehanna River
Observe where the wide river cuts through Blue Mountain near the Pennsylvania state capital.
Princeton University
Spot the historic gothic architecture of the campus north of Trenton during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of Cincinnati's downtown area and stadiums immediately after takeoff from CVG. In the middle of the flight, look for the 'V' shaped mountain ridges of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. During autumn, this side provides spectacular views of the changing foliage across the Pennsylvania highlands.
Appalachian Plateau
View the dense forest canopies and rolling hills of eastern Ohio and the West Virginia border.
Lancaster Farmland
See the iconic patchwork quilts of the Pennsylvania Dutch country south of the flight path.
Philadelphia Skyline
On clear days, look south to see the tall buildings of Philadelphia on the distant horizon during descent.
Delaware River
Cross the historic boundary between Pennsylvania and New Jersey just before touching down at TTN.
The right side provides excellent views of the winding Ohio River valley and the sprawling farmlands of Southern Pennsylvania. If visibility is high, you can spot the Philadelphia skyline far to the south during the initial descent into the Trenton area. Morning flights on this side may experience significant sun glare.
