Newfoundland & Labrador
The first sight of North America often includes the dramatic, rocky inlets of the Canadian coast.
Manhattan Skyline
If landing on Runways 22L/R, the right side provides an iconic view of the NYC skyline and the Hudson River.
George Washington Bridge
A clear view of the massive suspension bridge connecting New Jersey and Upper Manhattan during descent.
The right side is highly recommended for the potential of seeing Greenland and the New York City skyline. To maximize visibility, choose a seat forward of the wing. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare while heading west, so keep your window shade ready.
