EWR → YQM
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Greater Moncton International Airport (Moncton)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a premier coastal experience, featuring the iconic Manhattan skyline upon departure, the rugged Maine shoreline, and the dramatic tidal landscapes of the Bay of Fundy.
Manhattan Skyline
Unmatched aerial views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and the dense grid of Midtown Manhattan.
Casco Bay
The jagged, island-filled coastline near Portland, Maine, showing the classic New England maritime character.
Acadia National Park
Spot the granite peaks of Cadillac Mountain and the crashing Atlantic surf on Mount Desert Island.
Bay of Fundy
Witness the dramatic swirling currents and vast mudflats created by the world's highest tides.
Hopewell Rocks
During the final descent, look for the 'Flowerpot Rocks' and the chocolate-colored waters of the Petitcodiac River.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from EWR for the NYC skyline, and again about 15 minutes before landing at YQM to capture the unique red-silt banks of the Petitcodiac River.
Hudson Highlands
Stunning views of the deep river valley and steep ridges north of New York City.
White Mountains
Distal views of Mount Washington and the rugged peaks of the Presidential Range in New Hampshire.
Maine North Woods
An endless carpet of dense pine forests dotted with pristine glacial lakes and winding rivers.
St. Croix River
The winding river border that separates Maine in the United States from New Brunswick in Canada.
Choose the left side for interior landscapes and mountainous terrain. This side is particularly spectacular during the autumn months (late September to mid-October) when the New England and New Brunswick forests transition into vibrant red and gold hues. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the White Mountains.
