Manhattan Skyline
Unparalleled views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center immediately after takeoff from LGA.
Appalachian Ridges
The characteristic folding landscape of the Pennsylvania and West Virginia mountain ranges.
Mississippi River
A massive geographic milestone where the flight transitions from the Eastern US to the Great Plains.
Nashville Sights
On southern flight paths, the lights and layout of Music City are often visible mid-flight.
Dallas Skyline
As you descend into DFW, the left side often catches the glittering glass towers of Downtown Dallas.
Book a window seat in the front half of the plane to avoid wing obstruction. For departures between 8 AM and 11 AM, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit views of NYC. Keep your camera ready immediately after the landing gear retracts.

Verrazzano-Narrows
Aerial views of the massive bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island during initial climb.
Ozark National Forest
The rugged, densely forested plateaus of Arkansas offer beautiful textures and colors, especially in autumn.
Texas Plains
The landscape noticeably flattens and transforms into the vast, organized grid patterns of North Texas ranchland.
DFW Complex
A great view of one of the world's largest airport layouts during the final approach pattern.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Texas horizon. It is generally quieter for viewing as it avoids the direct glare of the southern sun for much of the southwest-bound journey.
