Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the U.S. East Coast barrier islands and the stunning turquoise waters of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos during the mid-flight transition to the Caribbean.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
✈️

EWR Ground Operations

A great view of the complex runway systems and logistics of Newark Liberty International Airport during takeoff.

🏝️

Outer Banks

The thin, sandy strips of North Carolina's barrier islands are often visible from high altitude on clear days.

💎

Bahamian Cays

Spectacular turquoise water patterns and tiny coral islands near the Turks and Caicos archipelago.

⛰️

Cordillera Septentrional

The rugged mountain range that guards the Cibao Valley provides a dramatic backdrop during the final approach.

🌆

Santiago Cityscape

A close-up view of the Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración and the urban heart of Santiago de los Caballeros.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Caribbean reefs. Keep an eye out about 30 minutes before landing for the vibrant blue shallows of the southern Bahamas.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Unmatched views of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty immediately following takeoff from Newark.

🏖️

Jersey Shore

Aerial view of the New Jersey coastline, including the beaches of Belmar and Asbury Park as the plane heads south.

🌊

Open Atlantic

Deep blue vistas of the Atlantic Ocean during the cruise phase before reaching the Caribbean islands.

🌴

Puerto Plata Coast

The lush, green northern coastline of the Dominican Republic as the aircraft begins its descent into the island.

Choose a morning flight to avoid direct sunlight and glare. If the aircraft departs to the north and loops around, keep your camera ready for the NYC skyline within the first 5 minutes of flight.
