EWR → LIM
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Manhattan skyline upon departure, followed by the dramatic transition from the Caribbean Sea to the snow-capped peaks of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes.
Manhattan Skyline
Unmatched views of the New York City skyline and the Hudson River shortly after takeoff from Newark.
Bahamian Archipelago
Vibrant turquoise waters and intricate coral reef patterns across the Exuma chain in the Bahamas.
Colombian Cordillera
The rugged, lush green ridges of the northernmost reaches of the Andes mountain range.
Ecuadorian Volcanoes
Potential sightings of high-altitude volcanic peaks such as Cayambe or Cotopaxi on clear days.
Peruvian Highlands
The dramatic, arid mountain landscapes of central Peru as the flight begins its descent into Lima.
Book an overnight flight to see the sunrise illuminate the Andes peaks. For photography, sit behind the wing to capture the scale of the mountains against the aircraft. Ensure your window is clean for the Manhattan departure, which happens very quickly.
Statue of Liberty
A glimpse of Liberty Island and the New Jersey coastline during the initial climb out of EWR.
Panama Canal Entrance
Vessels waiting to enter the canal and the dense jungle of the Isthmus of Panama.
Pacific Horizon
Endless views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean as the flight tracks parallel to the South American coast.
Sechura Desert
The stark, beautiful contrast of the yellow desert sands meeting the blue Pacific in northern Peru.
Callao Harbor
A bird's-eye view of Peru's main port and the naval vessels near San Lorenzo Island before landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. During the descent into Lima, this side provides the best view of the coastline and the San Lorenzo island. It is generally less prone to direct glare during southbound morning flights.
