EWR → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a consistent panoramic view of the Atlantic coastline, featuring the Jersey Shore, the thin barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and the spectacular NASA launch facilities at Cape Canaveral.
Jersey Shore
Clear views of the New Jersey coastline, including Atlantic City's boardwalk and the Barnegat Lighthouse.
The Outer Banks
The dramatic, thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands separating the Atlantic from the Pamlico Sound.
Kennedy Space Center
A top-down view of Cape Canaveral, including the historic Apollo and Shuttle launch pads and the VAB.
Miami Beach Skyline
The iconic high-rises of South Beach and the vibrant turquoise waters of the Florida coast during the descent.
PortMiami
Watch for the world's largest cruise ships docked at the 'Cruise Capital of the World' just before touchdown.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. This side is also preferred for seeing the Manhattan skyline immediately after takeoff if the plane departs towards the north before turning south.
Chesapeake Bay
The massive estuary system of Maryland and Virginia, featuring intricate inlets and the Bay Bridge.
I-95 Corridor Cities
Distant views of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the Washington D.C. metropolitan sprawl depending on the flight path.
Lake Okeechobee
The 'Inland Sea' of Florida, a massive freshwater lake that dominates the southern interior of the state.
The Everglades
The vast 'River of Grass' wetlands extending toward the Gulf of Mexico during the approach to Miami.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers better views of the Florida interior and the sprawling agricultural grid south of Lake Okeechobee during the final 20 minutes of flight.
