Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this northbound route as it typically offers panoramic views of the inland Eastern Seaboard, including the skylines of Philadelphia and New York City, and the rolling hills of the Northeast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Central Florida Urban Corridor

Aerial views of the Orlando metro area and the numerous lakes of the Florida peninsula shortly after takeoff.

🏛️

Mid-Atlantic Metros

Distant views of the Washington D.C. monuments and the dense urban sprawl of Baltimore and Philadelphia.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the entire New York City skyline, including the Freedom Tower and Central Park, is visible during the descent phase.

⛰️

Hudson Valley & Berkshires

As the flight enters New England, observe the lush green ridges of the Hudson Highlands and the Berkshire Mountains.

🌲

Southern New Hampshire Woods

Deep forest canopies and winding rivers like the Merrimack as you prepare for landing in Manchester.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the New York City skyline during the descent. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the Appalachian range. Try to sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion during photography of the NYC skyscrapers.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Continuous views of the breaking waves and sandy beaches of the Florida and Georgia coasts.

🏖️

The Outer Banks

The distinctive, thin barrier islands of North Carolina, including Cape Hatteras and Kitty Hawk.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

The massive expanse of the bay and the intricate network of bridges and shipping lanes near Norfolk.

🏝️

Long Island Sound

The long, narrow stretch of water separating Long Island from the Connecticut coast, dotted with sailboats.

🏙️

Greater Boston Area

Views of the Massachusetts coastline and the distant Boston skyline as the flight turns inland toward New Hampshire.

The right side is the 'sunrise side' for morning flights, offering beautiful light over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also excellent for viewing the intricate geography of the Carolina capes. Ensure you look out during the final 15 minutes of the flight to spot the Massachusetts coast.
