EWR → BON
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Flamingo International Airport (Kralendijk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is preferred primarily for the potential views of the Manhattan skyline during the Newark departure and the superior vantage point of Bonaire's unique salt pans and coastline upon arrival.

Manhattan Skyline
Dramatic views of the World Trade Center and Midtown skyscrapers shortly after lifting off from EWR.
Atlantic Continental Shelf
The visible transition from the shallow green coastal waters to the deep indigo of the open ocean.
Turks and Caicos
Aerial perspectives of the scattered cays and vibrant coral reefs of the Lucayan Archipelago.
Hispaniola's East Coast
Views of the rugged cliffs and lush tropical terrain of the Dominican Republic's Samaná region.
Bonaire Salt Pans
Brilliant pink evaporation ponds and white salt pyramids near the southern tip of the island during final approach.
Book a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of NYC. On this southbound route, the sun will be on the left for much of the day, so bring sunglasses or keep the shade partially down. During arrival, look for the 'Pekelmeer' flamingo sanctuary's distinct pink hue.

Jersey Shoreline
Detailed views of Barnegat Bay and the long barrier islands stretching toward Atlantic City.
Outer Banks
The thin ribbons of sand making up North Carolina's iconic coastal geography.
Great Bahama Bank
Stunning patterns of turquoise water and white sand shoals that are world-renowned for their beauty.
Caribbean Shipping
High-altitude views of cargo vessels and cruise ships traversing the Mona Passage.
Klein Bonaire
The flat, uninhabited coral island sitting just off the coast of Kralendijk as the plane turns for landing.
The right side offers more consistent views of the US East Coast and the Bahamas. Because the sun is on the opposite side (East/South) for mid-day flights, lighting is often better for photography without glare. Watch for the stark contrast of deep blue water surrounding the shallow Bahamian flats.
