Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (Greenville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the major metropolitan centers of the Northeast Corridor, including Philadelphia and Washington D.C., followed by the rolling silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Philadelphia Skyline
Clear views of Center City skyscrapers and the industrial curves of the Delaware River.
Washington D.C.
On clear days, the distinct layout of the National Mall and the Potomac River is visible.
Blue Ridge Mountains
The iconic blue-tinted ridges of the Appalachians as the flight moves into Virginia.
Shenandoah Valley
Lush green agricultural valleys tucked between the mountain ranges.
Lake Norman
A massive recreational lake north of Charlotte that serves as a landmark during the descent.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights as the sun sets over the mountains. During the initial climb, look for the Manhattan skyline if the plane loops north before turning south. This side generally offers the most iconic urban landmarks throughout the flight.
Jersey Shore
Bird's-eye view of the white sand beaches and barrier islands of the New Jersey coastline.
Delaware Bay
The vast waterway separation between the New Jersey and Delaware peninsulas.
Chesapeake Bay
Intricate coastlines, tiny islands, and the massive Bay Bridge-Tunnel stretching across the water.
Norfolk Harbor
Views of one of the world's largest naval hubs and the busy shipping lanes of the Virginia coast.
Coastal Plain
The patchwork of agricultural fields and wetlands characterizing eastern North Carolina.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Atlantic. This side is also best for spotting the various bridges and tunnels that connect the Delmarva Peninsula to the mainland.
