EWR → NAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the iconic Manhattan skyline view upon departure, follows the scenic U.S. Atlantic coastline, and offers the most dramatic views of the Bahamian turquoise shallows during the final approach.
Search flights from EWR to NAS
Manhattan Skyline
Unmatched views of the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty if the flight path tracks south immediately.
Chesapeake Bay
A wide-angle view of the massive estuary and the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Outer Banks
The thin, sandy ribbons of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Grand Bahama Bank
The breathtaking transition where the deep ocean floor suddenly rises to white sandy shallows.
Tongue of the Ocean
A deep oceanic trench that appears as a dark blue abyss surrounded by bright turquoise water near Andros Island.
Book a seat in front of the wing for the best views of the New York skyline during the climb. On the descent into NAS, the right side typically offers the best look at the 'Tongue of the Ocean,' where the water color shifts dramatically. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side for soft, warm lighting on the islands.
Book Hotels in Nassau
Jersey Shore
Aerial views of the iconic boardwalks and sandy stretches of the New Jersey coastline shortly after takeoff.
Gulf Stream
The deep sapphire blue of the open Atlantic as the plane crosses the powerful warm-water current.
Great Abaco
The northernmost major Bahamian island, visible as you transition from the open ocean to the island chain.
The Berry Islands
A cluster of nearly 30 cays surrounded by brilliant, neon-blue shallow waters and coral reefs.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. While this side sees more open ocean mid-flight, the approach into Nassau often features stunning views of the northern cays and the eastern edge of the Great Bahama Bank. Keep your camera ready about 25 minutes before landing.
