Which side of the plane to sit from Indianapolis International Airport (Indianapolis) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route because it offers a higher probability of seeing the Manhattan skyline during the final descent into Newark, along with great views of Pittsburgh and the North-Central Pennsylvania highlands.
Indianapolis Skyline
Witness the 'Circle City' and the distinct architecture of Lucas Oil Stadium immediately after takeoff.
Columbus Metro
Pass just north of Ohio's capital, offering views of the Scioto River and the urban center.
Pittsburgh Three Rivers
View the iconic confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers as you fly over Pennsylvania.
Allegheny National Forest
Observe the vast, undulating green canopy of the Appalachian Plateau's northern reaches.
Manhattan Skyline
The crown jewel of the flight: a stunning panorama of the New York City skyline during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a seat on the left (Port) side to capture the New York City skyline as the plane aligns with the EWR runways. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the landscape and preventing glare on your window.
Midwestern Patchwork
The geometric precision of Indiana and Ohio farmlands creates a beautiful mosaic from above.
The Ohio River
Follow the winding curves of this historic waterway as it snakes through the valley below.
Appalachian Ridge-and-Valley
See the unique, long, parallel mountain ridges that define the Central Pennsylvania landscape.
Philadelphia Horizon
On clear days, the skyline of Philadelphia is visible in the distance to the south as you enter New Jersey.
Port Newark-Elizabeth
Get a bird's-eye view of the massive container ships and industrial infrastructure of the East Coast's largest port.
The right side is perfect for geography buffs who want to see the distinct linear ridges of the Appalachians. On late afternoon flights, the setting sun creates long shadows that emphasize the height and texture of the mountain ranges.
