EWR β MYR
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the Atlantic coastline, featuring iconic boardwalks, barrier islands, and the vast expanse of the ocean as you track south.
Jersey Shoreline
Aerial views of famous coastal towns like Asbury Park and Ocean City immediately after departure.
Atlantic City
The high-rise casinos and the historic Steel Pier are clearly visible against the surf.
Delaware Bay
Watch the transition from the New Jersey peninsula across the mouth of the bay toward Delaware.
Outer Banks
The thin ribbons of sand making up the NC barrier islands are visible as the flight path hugs the coast.
Myrtle Beach Shore
A sweeping view of the Grand Strand's 60 miles of continuous beach during the final descent.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. The light reflects beautifully off the coastal lagoons and marshes of the Delmarva Peninsula. During the summer, look for the distinct change in water color near the Gulf Stream further out at sea.
Philly Outskirts
Distant views of the Delaware River and the industrial corridors connecting New Jersey to Pennsylvania.
Norfolk Naval Base
Depending on the specific flight corridor, you can often see the world's largest naval station and its docked carriers.
Great Dismal Swamp
A massive, dark green forested area crossing the Virginia and North Carolina border.
Albemarle Sound
The inland freshwater sounds of North Carolina offer a complex geography of rivers and estuaries.
Golf Course Corridor
As you enter South Carolina, the landscape becomes dotted with the lush green fairways typical of the region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a more terrestrial view of the Mid-Atlanticβs geography, including the dense pine forests of the Carolinas. Watch for the intricate patterns of the Chesapeake Bay's northern tributaries early in the flight.
