EWR β†’ BQN

Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the U.S. East Coast during the initial ascent and a stunning approach into Aguadilla, featuring the rugged western cliffs of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Sea.

Right Side Highlights

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Mid-Atlantic Coastline

Excellent views of the Delmarva Peninsula and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

The Outer Banks

See the distinct thin strips of the North Carolina barrier islands and the Pamlico Sound.

πŸͺΈ

Bahamian Cays

Depending on the specific airway, you may spot the turquoise waters surrounding the easternmost Bahamas or Turks and Caicos.

⛰️

Desecheo Island

A rugged, uninhabited wildlife refuge island that often serves as a landmark for the final approach into BQN.

🏰

Punta Borinquen

Stunning views of the limestone cliffs and the historic lighthouse area just before touching down at Aguadilla.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the ocean. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight; the approach to BQN often passes right over the dramatic cliffs of the northwest coast. Seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction of the coastal reefs.

Manhattan Skyline

Shortly after departure, catch glimpses of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty to the northeast.

πŸ–οΈ

Jersey Shore

Detailed views of the New Jersey coastline and barrier islands as the plane tracks south.

🌊

Atlantic Deep

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean during the mid-flight cruise phase.

🌴

Puerto Rico North Coast

As you descend, the lush northern coastline of the island becomes visible against the turquoise surf.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. On clear days, you can sometimes see the distant outline of the San Juan metro area as you begin your final descent into the western part of the island.
