Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic coastline for most of the flight, including the Outer Banks, the Chesapeake Bay, and the transition from the mid-Atlantic to the New England shores.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚀

The Space Coast

Shortly after takeoff, look for the Cape Canaveral launch pads and the Banana River along the Florida coast.

🏖️

The Outer Banks

Aerial views of the iconic thin barrier islands of North Carolina, including the distinctive curves of Cape Hatteras.

⛵

Chesapeake Bay

A massive geographic feature with intricate inlets, the Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and the dense maritime traffic of the mid-Atlantic.

🗽

Long Island & NYC Coast

Stunning perspectives of the New Jersey shoreline, the south shore of Long Island, and the Atlantic entrance to New York Harbor.

🚤

Narragansett Bay

Beautiful views of the Rhode Island coastline and the numerous islands leading into the southern New England interior.

The right side is superior for morning flights as the sun rises over the Atlantic, providing excellent lighting for coastal photography. Keep an eye out for the distinctive 'elbow' of Cape Cod if the flight path tracks slightly further east.

🛶

Florida Lakelands

Observe the intricate network of lakes and marshes surrounding the Orlando area during the initial climb.

🏙️

Northeast Corridor Skylines

Distant views of major metropolitan hubs like Philadelphia and the western edge of the New York City metro area.

⛰️

Appalachian Foothills

As the plane moves north through Virginia, the rolling green foothills and ridges of the Appalachian range are visible to the west.

🌲

Central Massachusetts Forests

Dense New England woodlands and the Quabbin Reservoir area as you approach the Worcester descent.

Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare and to enjoy the glowing city lights of the dense Northeast megalopolis. It is also better for spotting the sprawling inland forests of the East Coast.
