Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (Manchester NH)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the Manhattan skyline immediately after takeoff, followed by scenic views of the Long Island Sound and the Connecticut capital.
Manhattan Skyline
An unbeatable aerial perspective of One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, and Midtown skyscrapers.
Central Park
The iconic green rectangle of Manhattan clearly visible against the surrounding urban grid.
Long Island Sound
The sparkling coastline of Connecticut featuring numerous bays, islands, and marinas.
Hartford Skyline
Views of the Connecticut State House with its distinct gold dome and the Travelers Tower.
Quabbin Reservoir
The massive, man-made wilderness area in central Massachusetts that supplies Boston's water.
Sit on the right for the iconic New York City departure views; ensure your camera is ready immediately after wheels-up. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun illuminates the NYC skyline and the Connecticut coastline without creating heavy glare.
Hudson River & Palisades
Dramatic views of the basalt cliffs of the Palisades and the wide expanse of the Hudson River heading north.
Litchfield Hills
The rolling green terrain of western Connecticut, part of the Appalachian foothills.
Connecticut River Valley
The fertile valley and winding path of the longest river in the New England region.
Southern NH Forests
Dense woodland canopies that turn vibrant shades of orange and red during the autumn season.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' reflection on the Hudson River. In the fall, this side provides the best view of the foliage transitioning from the suburbs of NJ into rural New England.
