Which side of the plane to sit from Westchester County Airport (White Plains) to Lebanon Municipal Airport (Lebanon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Connecticut River Valley, which the flight typically follows, along with the skylines of Hartford and Springfield and the iconic Mount Monadnock.
Long Island Sound
Expansive coastal views and the Connecticut shoreline shortly after departing Westchester.
Hartford Skyline
A clear view of Connecticut's capital city and the Travelers Tower mid-route.
Connecticut River
The flight path often mirrors this major waterway, showing its winding bends and oxbows.
Mount Monadnock
The isolated and prominent peak in Southern New Hampshire is easily identifiable to the east.
The right side is prime for tracking the Connecticut River, the main landmark of this route. Watch for the Hartford skyline and the prominent silhouette of Mount Monadnock. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun rises over the Atlantic coast to the east, illuminating the river valley below.
Hudson Highlands
Early views of the rugged hills bordering the Hudson River as the plane turns north.
The Berkshires
Rolling green ridges of Western Massachusetts provide a scenic mid-flight backdrop.
Green Mountains
Distant views of the Vermont mountain range visible during the descent into the Upper Valley.
Sit on the left for views of the Hudson River during departure and the rolling Berkshire Mountains mid-flight. On afternoon flights, this side remains in the shade, making photography of the Vermont landscape easier during the descent into Lebanon. Autumn is particularly spectacular for foliage on this side.
