Which side of the plane to sit from Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock) to La Guardia Airport (New York)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the Appalachian range, the right side is significantly better for the approach into LaGuardia, typically offering world-class views of the Manhattan skyline and the New York Harbor.

Mississippi River Crossing
A broad view of the border between Arkansas and Tennessee shortly after takeoff from Little Rock.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Stunning parallel ridges and hazy blue peaks of the southern and central Appalachian range.
Philadelphia Skyline
On clear days, see the dense urban core of Philly and the Delaware River to the east.
Manhattan Skyline
The premier view of One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, and Midtown's skyscrapers during the approach.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
A clear view of the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn during harbor approaches.
The right side is essential for the 'scenic route' into New York. Book an afternoon flight to see the sunset reflecting off the glass towers of Manhattan. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the 'Park Avenue' or 'Expressway' visual approach, which puts the city skyline right in your window.

Choose the left side if you prefer views of the mountainous terrain of the interior Eastern US. For the best lighting on this side, a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind you. On the final descent into LGA, you may see the George Washington Bridge if the plane approaches from the north.
