Which side of the plane to sit from Indianapolis International Airport (Indianapolis) to Trenton Mercer Airport (Trenton)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Appalachian ridge-and-valley formations, the Susquehanna River, and the expansive Philadelphia metropolitan area during the descent into Trenton.
Appalachian Ridges
Iconic bird's-eye view of the long, parallel folded mountain ridges of the central Appalachians.
Susquehanna River
A crossing of the wide, shallow river near Harrisburg, featuring several historic bridges.
Lancaster Farmlands
The meticulously maintained 'patchwork quilt' patterns of Pennsylvania Dutch Country's agriculture.
Philadelphia Skyline
Distant but clear views of the Center City skyscrapers as the plane approaches the New Jersey border.
Delaware River
The winding river border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey just moments before touchdown.
The right side is the 'city side' for this route. For the best photography of the Appalachian ridges, book an afternoon flight when the sun provides deep shadows that highlight the topographic relief.
Columbus Metro
Aerial perspective of the sprawling Ohio state capital and its surrounding suburban ring.
Allegheny Plateau
Dense forest canopies and rolling plateau terrain of western Pennsylvania.
Pocono Mountains
Scenic views of the recreational highlands and lakes in the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania.
Lehigh Valley
Industrial and urban landscapes of Allentown and Bethlehem during the initial descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is particularly beautiful in October when the Pennsylvania forests turn vibrant shades of orange and red.
