Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the urban sprawl of the Northeast Corridor, and a stunning approach over Lake Champlain.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Spectacular views of the turquoise Atlantic waters and the dense beachfront high-rises from Fort Lauderdale to Jupiter.

🏝️

The Outer Banks

The thin ribbon of barrier islands off the North Carolina coast is often visible if the route follows the offshore tracks.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the iconic skyscrapers of New York City and the Hudson River are visible as the flight passes over New Jersey.

💧

Lake Champlain

A breathtaking view of the 120-mile-long lake that defines the border between New York and Vermont during the final approach.

⛰️

Vermont Green Mountains

The parallel mountain range across the lake from Plattsburgh, offering a scenic backdrop of peaks like Mt. Mansfield.

The right side is the 'scenic' choice for this route. Be aware of morning glare as you head north. For the best experience, watch for the New York City skyline roughly 45 minutes before arrival and the Lake Champlain shoreline in the final 5 minutes of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🐊

Florida Everglades

A view of the vast, grassy wetlands of South Florida immediately following the northern departure from FLL.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

The undulating ridgelines of the Appalachian range visible during the mid-flight transit over Virginia and Pennsylvania.

🌲

Adirondack High Peaks

Dramatic views of New York's largest protected wilderness as the plane begins its descent into the North Country.

🏛️

Albany Capital Region

The confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers near New York's state capital during the final leg.

Choose this side if you prefer inland mountain landscapes. For the best view of the Adirondacks, sit mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountains to the west.
