Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an incredible sequence of urban landmarks, featuring the skylines of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C., followed by the scenic Appalachian foothills.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

Clear views of Center City Philadelphia and the winding Schuylkill River early in the flight.

⛵

Baltimore Inner Harbor

The historic port of Baltimore and its dense urban core are typically visible to the west.

🏛️

Washington D.C.

The National Mall, Capitol Building, and Washington Monument are frequently visible if the route parallels I-95.

⛰️

Appalachian Foothills

The rolling green terrain of the Piedmont plateau and the blue ridges of the mountains in the distance.

🏞️

Potomac River

The dramatic curves of the Potomac River as it carves through the landscape between Maryland and Virginia.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh sun glare from the east. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the best urban photography opportunities of the Northeast Corridor cities.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Jersey Shore

Aerial views of the New Jersey coastline and barrier islands shortly after departure from Newark.

🌊

Delaware Bay

The vast estuary where the Delaware River meets the Atlantic Ocean, often showing distinct sediment plumes.

🦀

Chesapeake Bay

Expansive views of the Eastern Shore's intricate waterways and the famous Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the sunrise over the ocean on early morning southbound departures.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. This side is also better for spotting the massive naval facilities near Norfolk if the flight path tracks slightly further east.
