Manhattan Skyline
Unrivaled views of Midtown, Central Park, and the Financial District immediately following departure from LGA.
Delaware Water Gap
The distinct carving of the Delaware River through the Appalachian ridges on the NJ/PA border.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Extensive views of the rolling, forested peaks of the southern Appalachian range.
Percy Priest Lake
A massive reservoir and recreation area that signals you are on the final descent into Nashville.
Downtown Nashville

Book a window seat on the left (typically seat A) for the best chance to see the New York City skyline. On departure, if the plane heads south, you will look directly into the heart of Manhattan. During morning flights, the sun will be behind you for the first half of the trip, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Appalachian Mountains.
