LEBHPN

Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic progression, following the Connecticut River southward and providing superior views of the Long Island Sound and the affluent 'Gold Coast' shoreline during the descent into Westchester.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏞️

Connecticut River Valley

Visible immediately after departure from LEB, the river marks the border between NH and VT.

💧

Quabbin Reservoir

The massive 'accidental wilderness' in central Massachusetts is easily spotted as a vast blue expanse.

🏙️

Hartford Skyline

Clear views of Connecticut's capital city, including the distinctive Travelers Tower.

🌊

Long Island Sound

As the plane enters the HPN arrival pattern, the vast blue waters and the North Shore of Long Island appear.

🏘️

Greenwich Gold Coast

Aerial views of the massive estates and private docks along the Connecticut shoreline.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly spectacular in early to mid-October for peak fall foliage in the Connecticut River Valley. During the landing phase at HPN, you will have a better view of the yachts in the Sound.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Green Mountains

The southern end of Vermont's primary mountain range visible shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Greylock

The highest point in Massachusetts, recognizable by the war memorial tower at its summit.

🌲

The Berkshires

Rolling forested hills and rural landscapes of Western Massachusetts.

🌄

Litchfield Hills

The scenic, rugged northwestern corner of Connecticut known for its dense deciduous forests.

🌉

Hudson River Valley

On a clear day, the distant silhouette of the Catskill Mountains and the Tappan Zee Bridge may be visible.

The right side is the best choice for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Hudson Valley and Catskills to the west. If the plane approaches HPN from the west, you might catch a glimpse of the Mario Cuomo Bridge and the lower Hudson River.
