Manhattan Skyline
Unparalleled views of the One World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty, and the New York Harbor immediately after departure.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
A massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn seen during the initial banking phase.
Outer Banks
If the flight path hugs the coast, the thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands is often visible.
Mount Isabel de Torres
The 800-meter peak featuring a Christ the Redeemer statue and a cable car, visible during the final turn into the airport.
The right side is essential for the NYC skyline view on takeoff. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of takeoff for the Statue of Liberty, and look for the Isabel de Torres mountain just before touchdown.

Cordillera Septentrional
The rugged mountain range that defines the northern coast of the Dominican Republic as you approach POP.
Sit on the left for softer morning light during southbound flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is also excellent for spotting the colorful shallow-water reefs of the Caribbean as the plane begins its final descent into Puerto Plata.
