Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior primarily for the departure from LGA, which often features a sweeping view of the Manhattan skyline, and the approach into Little Rock, providing views of the Arkansas River and downtown.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Unrivaled views of Midtown and the Financial District immediately after takeoff from LGA.

🗽

Statue of Liberty

Visible in the New York Harbor as the plane climbs and turns toward the southwest.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

The scenic, rolling ridges of the Appalachian chain through Virginia and West Virginia.

🎸

Nashville Basin

Aerial views of the 'Music City' and the Cumberland River during the mid-to-late flight stage.

🌊

Arkansas River

The wide, meandering river that defines the landscape as you descend into Little Rock.

Sit on the left for the iconic 'Manhattan Turn' during departure. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the East Coast cities and the Appalachians. For the best photography of NYC, use a fast shutter speed to combat cabin vibration during the initial climb.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌳

Central Park

A clear view of the green rectangular heart of Manhattan and the Upper West Side.

🌉

George Washington Bridge

The massive suspension bridge connecting Manhattan to the New Jersey Palisades.

🏔️

Allegheny Plateau

The rugged, dissected plateau region of the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania.

🚢

Ohio River Valley

The industrial and natural beauty of the Ohio River as the flight crosses near the KY/WV border.

⛰️

Pinnacle Mountain

A distinct volcanic-like peak standing alone near the approach to Little Rock.

The right side offers great views of the George Washington Bridge and the Hudson River. On evening flights, this side experiences the sunset over the Ozarks and the Midwest plains, providing excellent golden hour lighting for landscape photography.
