Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route, offering a world-class aerial view of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River during the final approach into Newark.
Denver Skyline
Clear views of downtown Denver and the Colorado State Capitol shortly after takeoff.
Great Plains Grid
The mesmerizing geometric patchwork of Nebraska and Iowa farmland stretching to the horizon.
Mississippi River
A wide-angle view of the mighty river crossing near the Illinois-Iowa border.
Manhattan Skyline
The iconic skyscrapers of Midtown and Lower Manhattan as the plane descends over the Hudson.
George Washington Bridge
A top-down view of the massive suspension bridge connecting New Jersey and New York.
Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the New York City skyline. On evening flights, the sunset will be behind you, illuminating the Manhattan glass towers in a golden glow. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Tappan Zee and George Washington bridges for the best scale.
Appalachian Mountains
The unique 'ridge and valley' formations of central Pennsylvania's terrain.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
A glimpse of the entrance to the New York Harbor and the bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island.
MetLife Stadium
The massive sports complex in the Meadowlands visible during the final minutes of flight.
Staten Island
Views of the suburban island and its coastline before banking toward the runway.
Port Newark
The intricate cranes and container ships of one of the world's busiest maritime ports.
The right side offers great views of the industrial landscape and the Jersey Shore if the plane approaches from the south. During autumn, this side provides superior views of the fall foliage over the Appalachian ridges. If the flight path involves a 'River Visual' approach, you might see the Statue of Liberty briefly.
