Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Stewart International Airport (Newburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Atlantic coastline, the Outer Banks, the Manhattan skyline, and the scenic Hudson River during the final approach into Newburgh.
Kennedy Space Center
Distant views of launch pads and the coastal lagoons of Cape Canaveral shortly after takeoff.
Outer Banks
The unique thin strip of barrier islands and the distinct turquoise waters of the North Carolina coast.
NYC Skyline
Spectacular panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and the Empire State Building during the northern approach.
Hudson River Valley
Low-altitude views of the majestic Hudson River, including West Point Academy and the Bear Mountain Bridge.
Jersey Shore
Linear views of the New Jersey coastline and popular beach towns leading up to the New York Harbor.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun rises over the Atlantic. During the final 20 minutes of flight, the right side often offers an iconic view of the New York City skyline to the east. Be sure to look for the historic West Point military academy along the riverbanks just before landing at SWF.
Orlando Theme Parks
Bird's-eye view of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios immediately after departure from MCO.
Appalachian Piedmont
Rolling green hills and dense forests of the Piedmont region stretching through Virginia and Maryland.
Washington D.C. Area
Distal views of the Potomac River and the dense urban sprawl of the U.S. capital region.
Hudson Highlands
Rugged, rocky terrain and mountainous peaks as the aircraft descends into the Stewart area.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides excellent views of the changing foliage in autumn as you cross into the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch the sprawling resort complexes of Central Florida.
