Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the Manhattan skyline shortly after takeoff from Newark, providing iconic views of the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Hudson River.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Unmatched views of Midtown Manhattan, the Freedom Tower, and Central Park during the initial climb.

🚢

Hudson River

The scenic waterway separating New Jersey and New York, often filled with ferries and cargo ships.

🎓

New Haven & Yale

Aerial view of the historic Gothic towers and campus of Yale University along the Connecticut coast.

🌳

New England Foliage

Dense forest canopies that transform into vibrant reds and oranges during the autumn season.

🏛️

Rhode Island State House

The massive white marble dome of the state capitol visible as the aircraft enters the Providence area.

For the best experience, book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Night flights are spectacular on this side for the NYC city lights. During the fall, midday flights maximize the colors of the Connecticut landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌉

Brooklyn & Queens

A wide view of the outer boroughs, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and the dense urban grid.

🏖️

Long Island Sound

The expansive blue waters and the scenic 'Gold Coast' mansions of northern Long Island.

🏝️

Fisher's Island

A unique look at the chain of islands guarding the eastern entrance to the Sound.

⚓

Narragansett Bay

Dramatic views of the Rhode Island coastline, including sailboats and rocky inlets near PVD.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

On clear days, you can see the deep blue of the open Atlantic Ocean stretching to the south.

Choose this side if you prefer coastal and water views over urban skylines. The morning sun can be intense on this side when flying northeast, so bring sunglasses. Watch for the distinct shape of the Narragansett Bay islands during the final 10 minutes of flight.
