LIM → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Andes Mountains immediately after takeoff from Lima, followed by potential views of the Panama Canal, the vibrant turquoise waters of the Bahamas, and a panoramic approach toward Manhattan when landing at Newark.
The High Andes
Unrivaled views of the snow-capped peaks of the Peruvian Andes as the plane turns north and climbs to cruising altitude.
Panama Canal
Look down to spot the engineering marvel of the canal locks and ships waiting in the Caribbean entrance near Colón.
Caribbean Archipelago
Stunning views of the coral reefs and turquoise shallow waters around the Bahamas and the Cuban coastline.
Miami & Gold Coast
A clear view of the high-rise skyline of Miami and the dense coastal development stretching north through Fort Lauderdale.
New York City Skyline
During the final approach into EWR, this side frequently offers a direct view of the Statue of Liberty and the One World Trade Center.
For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing. On the typical EWR arrival (such as the 'Philly' or 'Bridge' visual approaches), the right side is the 'money side' for seeing Manhattan. If taking the common overnight flight, you will also witness a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.
Peruvian Pacific Coast
Dramatic views of the arid coastal cliffs and the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean shortly after departure.
Central American Volcanic Arc
Distant views of the volcanic peaks lining the western coast of Central America, particularly over Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Florida Gulf Coast
Aerial perspective of the white sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle as the flight crosses back over the US mainland.
Appalachian Ridges
The rolling green and blue-tinted ridges of the Appalachian mountain range visible during the descent through the Mid-Atlantic.
Choose the left side if you are flying during the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico. It is generally quieter for sleeping as it avoids the morning sun glare on northbound daytime flights.
