Which side of the plane to sit from Westchester County Airport (White Plains) to Martha's Vineyard Airport (Vineyard Haven MA)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior ocean views, including a direct line of sight to the North Fork of Long Island and the iconic shape of Block Island before descending into the Vineyard.
Long Island North Fork
See the patchwork of vineyards, orchards, and farms that define the 'East End' of Long Island.
Plum Island
The isolated and mysterious research facility located just off Orient Point.
Block Island
A perfect view of the teardrop-shaped island, including the dramatic Mohegan Bluffs and the Great Salt Pond.
South Beach MV
As the plane turns for its final approach, enjoy sweeping views of the long, sandy barrier beaches of Martha's Vineyard.
Ocean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean where the water meets the sky in a deep blue gradient.
Sit on the right for sunset flights to witness the light reflecting off the Long Island Sound. Keep your eyes peeled for the lighthouse at Orient Point; it is a key landmark just before the crossing to Block Island.
Connecticut Gold Coast
Bird's-eye views of the dense estates and yacht-filled harbors of Greenwich, Stamford, and Norwalk.
New Haven & Yale
The distinctive grid of Yale University and the industrial activity of the New Haven harbor.
Thames River Submarines
Look for the Naval Submarine Base New London and the historic Coast Guard Academy as you pass Groton.
Rhode Island Sound
Dramatic views of the rocky coastline where the Connecticut border meets Rhode Island.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Connecticut coastline without glare. This side is ideal for spotting urban landmarks and the transition from suburban New York to the rural New England coast.
