Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The starboard side is superior for this transatlantic crossing, offering the best chance to see the dramatic Greenland ice sheet, the rugged coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, and the dense forests of the Northeastern United States.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Greenland Ice Cap

Dazzling white glaciers and massive icebergs floating in the sea, visible on the Great Circle route.

🇨🇦

Newfoundland Coastline

Rugged, rocky cliffs and deep fjords of eastern Canada as the flight makes landfall in North America.

🌲

Maine Wilderness

Vast stretches of the Great North Woods and the intricate coastline of Acadia.

🏙️

Northeast Corridor

Aerial views of the suburban sprawl and major rivers of the US Mid-Atlantic region.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Sweeping views of the Appalachian range's eastern edge during the final hour of flight.

Sit on the right for the best chance of spotting Greenland; look out roughly 3 to 4 hours after takeoff. This side also stays in the shade during westbound flights, making it much easier to take photos of the Canadian Maritimes and the Maine coast without sun glare.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🇮🇪

Wicklow Mountains

Lush green peaks and valleys of Eastern Ireland immediately after departure from Dublin.

🌊

Mid-Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the North Atlantic Ocean with potential for interesting cloud formations.

🏖️

Outer Banks

Distant views of the narrow barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina during the descent.

⛰️

Southern Appalachians

The rolling, blue-tinted ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains as the plane enters Georgia airspace.

This side is subject to direct sunlight for the majority of the westbound daytime flight, which can cause significant glare. It is better for passengers who prefer to see the Irish coastline upon departure and the US East Coast shoreline from a distance.
