Which side of the plane to sit from Long Island Mac Arthur Airport (Islip) to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (Baltimore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic corridor view of the Atlantic coastline and the intricate geography of the Chesapeake Bay during approach.
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.
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
The skyscrapers of Philadelphia are visible to the west as the plane traverses southern New Jersey.
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.
