EWR → DEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers a more consistent view of the Manhattan skyline upon departure and the most dramatic sections of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, including Longs Peak, during arrival.

Manhattan Skyline
Provides a breathtaking view of Midtown and the One World Trade Center during the initial ascent.
Great Lakes
On a clear northerly track, the southern shores of Lake Erie and even Lake Michigan may be visible.
Chicago Skyline
Depending on the flight path, the Sears Tower and the Lake Michigan shoreline can be spotted in the distance.
Missouri River
Watch for the wide, winding silver ribbon of the Missouri River as it snakes through the heartland.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Stunning views of Longs Peak and the snow-capped mountains of the northern Front Range during the final 20 minutes of flight.
The right side is the best choice for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During winter, look for the 'snow line' where the brown plains suddenly meet the white-capped peaks of the Rockies. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for the clearest views of the mountains during the steep descent into Denver.

Statue of Liberty
Visible shortly after takeoff from EWR, depending on the departure runway and climbing turn.
Appalachian Mountains
The ancient, forested ridges of Pennsylvania offer a textured landscape during the first hour of flight.
Mississippi River
A major geographic milestone crossing near the border of Illinois and Iowa.
Midwestern Grid
The fascinating geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation circles across the Nebraska plains.
Pikes Peak
On descent into Denver, this famous 14,115-foot peak is visible to the south.
Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be behind or above the plane. This side provides excellent views of the southern Colorado Rockies if the flight path tracks slightly further north during the descent into DEN.
