Jersey Shore

Expansive views of the coastline including Barnegat Light and the long barrier islands.

🎰

Atlantic City

A clear view of the boardwalk and the concentrated cluster of casino skyscrapers along the beach.

🛥️

Delaware Bay

Aerial perspective of the vast transition from the Delaware River into the Atlantic Ocean near Cape May.

🌉

Chesapeake Bay Bridge

The iconic twin spans connecting Annapolis to the Eastern Shore are highly visible during the descent.

Opt for an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the coast. Look for the distinct shape of Sandy Hook shortly after departure from Long Island.

Right Side Highlights

🏙️

New York City Skyline

Distant but breathtaking views of Lower Manhattan and the One World Trade Center shortly after takeoff.

🌉

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

The massive suspension bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island is a key landmark early in the flight.

Philadelphia Center City

Susquehanna River

Watch for the wide mouth of the river as it feeds into the northernmost point of the Chesapeake Bay.

Choose the right side during morning flights for the best lighting on city skylines. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing NYC.
