Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Appalachian mountain chain's continuous ridges and better opportunities to spot major inland city skylines.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

A long-duration view of the ancient, undulating ridges stretching from New England down to Georgia.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the iconic skyscrapers of New York City are visible as the plane traverses the New Jersey corridor.

🏞️

Shenandoah Valley

The lush agricultural valley nestled between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains.

🌲

North Georgia Highlands

Dense forest canopies and rolling foothills that signal the start of the descent into the Atlanta metro area.

Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the plane, perfectly illuminating the textures of the mountain ridges. Keep an eye out about 30-40 minutes after takeoff for a glimpse of the NYC skyline.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Greater Boston

Shortly after takeoff, look back to see the Boston skyline and Massachusetts Bay on the horizon.

🌊

Atlantic Seaboard

Sweeping views of the Jersey Shore and the Delmarva Peninsula's intricate coastline.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

A stunning aerial perspective of the massive estuary, its bridges, and the Maryland/Virginia shipping lanes.

🏖️

Outer Banks

On certain easterly flight paths, the narrow sand bars of the North Carolina coast are visible in the distance.

For the best experience, choose a morning flight to see the sun reflecting off the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay. Seats behind the wing are preferable to keep the engine from blocking the coastal curve.
