DAY → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from James M Cox Dayton International Airport (Dayton) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this eastbound hop, providing a scenic cross-section of the Appalachian 'Ridge and Valley' province and the best angle for the Manhattan skyline when approaching Newark from the south.

Ohio Heartland
Geometric patterns of vast agricultural fields stretching toward the horizon in western Ohio.
Appalachian Ridges
Unique 'zig-zag' geological formations of the Pennsylvania ridge-and-valley province near Harrisburg.
Susquehanna River
One of the oldest and widest rivers in the world, easily identifiable by its rocky bed and many bridges.
Manhattan Skyline
A breathtaking view of One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty on the final descent into Newark.
The right side is the preferred choice for standard Runway 4 arrivals. For the best experience, select a seat behind the wing to capture the Manhattan skyline framed by the aircraft's flaps. Late afternoon flights offer a spectacular 'golden hour' glow on the New York City skyscrapers.

Dayton Suburbs
Clear view of the Miami Valley and Wright-Patterson AFB shortly after takeoff from DAY.
Allegheny Plateau
Dense forest cover and rugged terrain of the northern Appalachian range across Pennsylvania.
The Poconos
Famous resort region featuring rolling hills and scattered glacial lakes in the northeast.
Central Park
On specific north-inbound patterns, the left side sees Upper Manhattan and the park clearly.
Choose the left side if the flight is landing to the south (Runway 22), as the aircraft will often fly a 'downwind' leg parallel to Manhattan. Morning flights on this side offer crisp, direct lighting on the terrain without cockpit glare.
