Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, including the Space Coast, the thin ribbons of the Outer Banks, and the iconic hook of Cape Cod.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Clear views of launch pads and the Vehicle Assembly Building shortly after departing Orlando.

🏝️

Outer Banks

The fragile and beautiful barrier islands of North Carolina stretching out into the Atlantic Ocean.

⚓

Cape Cod

The distinctive glacial peninsula of Massachusetts is often visible during the transition toward the Canadian Maritimes.

🚢

Atlantic Seaboard

Expansive views of the deep blue ocean and coastal shipping lanes as the flight tracks north-northeast.

The right side is best for photography during midday flights to avoid the glare of the sun. If traveling in winter, watch for the striking transition from Florida's greenery to the snow-covered landscapes of New England and New Brunswick.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Northeast Megalopolis

Distant views of major urban centers including New York City and Boston depending on the specific airway used.

🌊

Bay of Fundy

Aerial perspective of the dramatic coastline home to the world's highest tides just before descending into Moncton.

🤎

Petitcodiac River

Known as the Chocolate River due to its brown silt, it creates a winding path through the landscape near the airport.

🌲

Maritime Forests

Dense stretches of New Brunswick wilderness and rolling hills as the plane crosses the Canadian border.

Choose the left side for night flights to see the dense cluster of city lights along the Eastern Seaboard. This side also provides the best view of the Petitcodiac River's unique tidal bore during the final approach into YQM.
