Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the iconic aerial view of the Manhattan skyline shortly after takeoff from EWR and typically offers better views of the European coast and the Rhine Valley during the descent into Germany.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Unmatched views of the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Hudson River during the initial climb out of Newark.

🌊

Atlantic Canada

The rugged, rocky coastline of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland is often visible before the long ocean crossing.

🇮🇪

The Emerald Isle

First landfall often occurs over the lush green landscapes of Ireland or the rugged cliffs of Northern Ireland.

🎡

Greater London

Depending on North Atlantic tracks, the left side often glimpses the sprawling urban landscape of London and the Thames.

🏰

The Rhine River

Aerial perspectives of the winding Rhine River and its historic hillside castles as you enter German airspace.

For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare. Since this is usually an eastbound overnight flight, the left side faces north, protecting you from the harsh morning sun during the descent into Stuttgart. Watch for the 'Northern Lights' during the mid-flight ocean crossing if traveling in winter months.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Long Island Beaches

A sweeping view of the Hamptons and the sandy stretches of the southern New York coastline shortly after departure.

🧊

Iceberg Alley

During spring and early summer, look down for drifting icebergs in the North Atlantic near the Grand Banks.

🇫🇷

Northern France

Views of the rolling hills and agricultural patterns of the Picardy and Champagne regions before crossing into Germany.

🌲

The Black Forest

The dense, dark canopy of the Schwarzwald is visible to the south during the final approach into Stuttgart.

🗼

Stuttgart TV Tower

The world's first telecommunications tower of its kind is often visible on the right during the landing pattern.

The right side is ideal for catching a late sunset over the Atlantic if your flight departs in the late afternoon. On arrival, it offers a better vantage point for the Swabian Alps and the TV Tower if the aircraft approaches Stuttgart from the west. Be prepared for direct sunlight during the breakfast service as you fly toward the rising sun.
