Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Westchester County Airport (White Plains)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the Outer Banks, and the intricate geography of the Long Island Sound upon arrival.
Space Coast
Kennedy Space Center and Merritt Island are often visible shortly after departure from Orlando when heading north.
Outer Banks
The iconic North Carolina barrier islands and Cape Hatteras stretching dramatically into the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantic City
New Jersey's famous boardwalk and coastal casinos standing out clearly against the shoreline.
Gateway National Area
Sandy Hook and the entrance to New York Harbor are visible during the descent into the New York metro area.
Long Island Sound
Scenic coastal towns, beaches, and sailboats across the Sound as the plane approaches Westchester County Airport.
Best for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. This side provides the most consistent coastal views and is your best chance for spotting the unique geography of the barrier island systems.
Florida Wetlands
The winding St. Johns River and lush marshlands visible during the initial climb out of Central Florida.
Mid-Atlantic Cities
Distant views of the dense urban corridor including Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia.
Chesapeake Bay
A large-scale view of the bay's western shore and the complex estuarine environment of the Mid-Atlantic.
NYC Skyline
Potential for a spectacular west-facing view of the Manhattan skyline during the final descent into Westchester.
Ideal for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare and enjoy the sunset over the mainland. On clear nights, look for the concentrated glowing lights of major cities along the I-95 corridor.
