Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an iconic tour of the Eastern Seaboard, featuring potential views of the Manhattan skyline, the Long Island coastline, and a scenic approach over Boston Harbor.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🚜

Mississippi Delta

Intricate agricultural patterns and river tributaries across the Southern United States.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

A frequent highlight featuring the high-rises of New York City and Central Park during the descent.

🛥️

Long Island Sound

Beautiful views of the Connecticut coastline and the cluster of boats in the sound.

⚓

Boston Harbor Islands

A spectacular low-altitude view of the harbor islands and the downtown skyline upon arrival.

The right side is the premier choice for the 'NYC flyby.' Book a seat in front of the wing for the clearest views of the Boston Harbor during final approach. Sunset flights offer beautiful lighting over the Atlantic coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Mississippi River

A massive crossing of the continent's largest river system near the Tennessee border.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

Stunning aerial views of the rolling green peaks through West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

🏙️

Midwest Urban Centers

Occasional views of Nashville or Cincinnati depending on the specific northern air corridor.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the rhythmic patterns of the Appalachian mountain range mid-flight.
