The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands separating the sound from the Atlantic.
Chesapeake Bay
The massive expanse of the bay and the visible infrastructure of the Bridge-Tunnel near Norfolk.
Delaware Bay
Deep blue water views as the flight crosses the mouth of the bay toward the New Jersey coast.
Atlantic City
The distinctive skyline of casinos and the historic boardwalk visible along the Jersey Shore.
This is the 'sunrise side' for early morning departures, offering beautiful light over the ocean. Keep your eyes peeled roughly halfway through the flight for the distinctive shape of Cape Hatteras. During winter months, the coastline is often clearer due to less humidity, offering sharper views of the maritime geography.
