EWR → CVG
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (Cincinnati)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Manhattan skyline shortly after takeoff from EWR and provides a more direct view of the Ohio River and the Cincinnati skyline during the final descent into CVG.
Manhattan Skyline
Spectacular views of the One World Trade Center and the Empire State Building if departing on a northerly runway.
Delaware Water Gap
The scenic notch where the Delaware River cuts through the Appalachian Mountains on the NJ/PA border.
Steel Valley
Industrial landscapes and river valleys of western Pennsylvania, often passing north of the Pittsburgh metro area.
Ohio River Meanders
The plane follows the general path of the Ohio River, offering views of the massive river bends near the OH/WV/KY borders.
Cincinnati Skyline
Direct views of the Great American Ball Park and the distinctive Roebling Suspension Bridge during the approach to CVG.
Sit on the right for the best chance of seeing the NYC skyline upon departure and the Cincinnati city center during the descent. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side as the sun is behind the aircraft.
Statue of Liberty
Clear views of Liberty Island and the harbor shortly after departure if the plane climbs toward the south.
Philadelphia Skyline
On a clear day, the skyscrapers of Center City Philadelphia are visible in the distance to the south.
Susquehanna River
A major crossing over the wide, winding river near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, during the mid-flight cruise.
Appalachian Ridges
The distinctive 'fold and thrust' belt of the Appalachian Mountains through central Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Kentucky Borderlands
Green, rolling hills of the Bluegrass region as the aircraft crosses the Ohio River into Kentucky for landing.
Choose the left side for southern-facing views that avoid direct sun glare during morning flights. This side is also better for spotting the Statue of Liberty if the flight path tracks south-southwest immediately after takeoff.
