Which side of the plane to sit from La Guardia Airport (New York) to Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (Greenville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, primarily for the iconic aerial view of the Manhattan skyline shortly after takeoff and the rolling ridge lines of the Appalachian Mountains during the cruise phase.
Search flights from LGA to GSP
Manhattan Skyline
Spectacular views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center during the climb out of New York.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
A clear view of the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn.
Shenandoah Valley
Stunning vistas of the verdant valley and the winding Potomac River as you cross the Virginia border.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Dramatic views of the hazy blue peaks of the southern Appalachian range during the descent into the Upstate region.
Greenville Suburbs
Close-up views of the lush, wooded residential areas surrounding Paris Mountain before landing.
To maximize your chances of the Manhattan view, check the wind direction; a south-facing takeoff provides the best 'loop' around the city. In autumn, this side is spectacular for viewing fall foliage over the mountains. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes and last 15 minutes of the flight.

Flushing Meadows
Bird's-eye view of Citi Field and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center immediately after departing LGA.
Jersey Shoreline
Distant views of the Atlantic coastline and the Sandy Hook peninsula as the flight heads south.
Charlotte Skyline
On the descent, the skyscrapers of Uptown Charlotte are often visible to the south depending on the specific arrival vector.
Industrial Piedmont
Aerial perspective of the sprawling logistics hubs and manufacturing centers common in the Carolinas.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Watch for the Chesapeake Bay in the distance during the middle third of the flight. This side also offers a good view of the airport grounds during the final approach to GSP if landing from the southwest.
