Detroit Skyline
Dramatic views of downtown Detroit and the Renaissance Center shortly after takeoff from DTW.
Lake Erie North Shore
A clear perspective of the Ontario coastline and the vast expanse of the shallowest Great Lake.
Niagara Region
On clear days, the mist from Niagara Falls and the urban sprawl of Buffalo are visible in the distance to the north.
The Finger Lakes
Stunning aerial views of the long, narrow glacial lakes, including Canandaigua, Seneca, and Cayuga.
Central NY Farmland
A patchwork of vibrant agricultural fields and rolling green hills characteristic of the New York heartland.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Finger Lakes. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography, as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the deep blue waters of the glacial lakes and the lush surrounding vineyards.

Detroit Industrial Waterfront
Views of the heavy industrial corridors and salt mines along the Detroit River south of the city.
Presque Isle State Park
The unique recurved sand spit jutting out from Erie, Pennsylvania, visible during the lake crossing.
Allegheny Plateau
The rugged, heavily forested terrain of the northern Appalachian Mountains stretching toward the Pennsylvania border.
Susquehanna River
The winding path of the Susquehanna River as it meanders through the valleys of the Southern Tier.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a lookout for the intricate river patterns of the Susquehanna during the final descent into Binghamton, especially beautiful during the autumn foliage peak in October.
