Kansas City Skyline
Excellent views of downtown Kansas City and the Missouri River shortly after departure from MCI.
Mississippi River
A clear crossing of the nation's largest river system near the border of Missouri and Illinois.
Lake Erie South Shore
On a northern flight path, views of the shoreline near Cleveland and the vast waters of the Great Lake.
Allegheny Plateau
Dense forest cover and rolling hills across northern Pennsylvania offer a lush green landscape.
Manhattan Skyline
The premier highlight; a clear view of the New York City skyline and the Hudson River during the descent into EWR.
Choose the left side for the best chance of seeing the New York City skyline, especially if the aircraft is landing on Runways 22L or 22R. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side of the plane, reducing glare for photography.

Appalachian Ridges

Philadelphia Skyline
Potential distant sightings of the Philadelphia metropolitan area to the south during the final cruise phase.
Port Newark

The right side is excellent for seeing the geological textures of the Appalachian Mountains. If the flight arrives from the south over the Jersey Shore, the right side provides views of the coastline and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
