Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the United States Eastern Seaboard, featuring the Florida coastline, potential views of major Mid-Atlantic cities, and a spectacular vista of the New York City skyline during the descent toward New England.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Aerial views of the high-rises and turquoise channels of Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the iconic skyscrapers of New York City and the Hudson River are visible as the flight traverses the NJ/NY corridor.

🌊

Long Island Sound

A beautiful view of the waterway separating the Connecticut shoreline from the northern coast of Long Island.

🏛️

Mid-Atlantic Corridor

Distant views of the urban sprawl encompassing the Philadelphia and Jersey Shore regions.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the Atlantic. Watch closely about 25-35 minutes before landing for the New York City skyline. During the winter months, look for the snow-covered landscapes of the Northeast as you cross the Mason-Dixon line.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏝️

The Outer Banks

View the thin, fragile ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina if the flight path tracks slightly offshore.

🐚

The Hamptons

Glance down at the exclusive estates and sprawling beaches along the south shore of Long Island.

⛵

Narragansett Bay

A stunning view of Rhode Island's coastline, including Newport and the Pell Bridge, during the final approach into PVD.

🚢

Atlantic Shipping Lanes

Observe large cargo ships and tankers navigating the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to witness a sunrise over the Atlantic. This side offers the best views of Narragansett Bay and the Rhode Island islands (Conanicut and Aquidneck) as the plane makes its final turn to align with the runway in Providence.
