Search flights from DEL to EWR
Karakoram Range
Shortly after departure, you may catch views of K2 and the surrounding giants of the Karakoram on the horizon.
Arctic Ice Cap
On the polar route, look out for the surreal, cracked patterns of the sea ice surrounding the North Pole.
Greenland Ice Sheet
A major highlight featuring massive glaciers, deep blue meltwater lakes, and stark mountain fjords along the coast.
Hudson Bay
The flight crosses this massive inland sea, which is often filled with drifting ice floes depending on the season.
New York Harbor
During the descent, you may see the Statue of Liberty and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge if the flight path circles south.
The right side is essential for viewing the Greenland ice sheet, which is the scenic peak of this route. Most flights are operated on Boeing 777 or 787 aircraft; try to sit in the forward or rear sections to avoid the large wings. Be prepared for 'constant daylight' as you fly over the pole, and use the window shade to manage glare while spotting icebergs.
Book Hotels in NewarkPamir Mountains
Known as the 'Roof of the World,' these high-altitude peaks in Tajikistan offer rugged, snow-covered vistas early in the flight.
Aral Sea
The hauntingly beautiful and desolate remains of the receding sea basin are visible as you cross Central Asia.
Boreal Forest
Vast expanses of the Canadian Shield featuring endless pine forests and intricate lake systems during the final hours.
Manhattan Skyline
On the standard approach into Newark from the north, this side offers a spectacular view of the entire Manhattan island.
Choose the left side if you prefer views of the Central Asian mountain ranges and want a high probability of seeing the New York City skyline upon arrival. Since the flight travels westward against the sun, the lighting on the left side remains consistent for photography of the landscape below.
