EWR → BWI
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (Baltimore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the urban Northeast Corridor, including the Philadelphia skyline and the Susquehanna River crossing during this short hop.
Manhattan Skyline
A breathtaking view of New York City's skyscrapers if the flight path loops north or east during the initial climb from EWR.
Philadelphia
A direct view of Center City skyscrapers and the sports complex as the flight tracks south along the Delaware River.
Susquehanna River
The impressive wide crossing at Havre de Grace, marking the transition into the final approach for Baltimore.
Wilmington Skyline
The compact business district of Delaware's largest city nestled along the I-95 corridor.
The right side is ideal for urban enthusiasts. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the Philadelphia skyline. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some glare, so a window shade adjustment might be necessary.
Jersey Shore
The scenic coastline of New Jersey and its famous barrier islands stretching south toward Cape May.
Delaware Bay
The massive estuary separating New Jersey from Delaware, visible during the mid-flight cruise phase.
Chesapeake Bay
Deep blue waters and the intricate coastline of Maryland's Eastern Shore visible during the descent into BWI.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft. This side provides a better perspective of the Atlantic horizon and the coastal wetlands of the Delmarva Peninsula.
