Manhattan Skyline
On the standard approach from the north, you will see Central Park, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center.
Long Island Sound
View the scenic coastline where Connecticut meets the sound, often shimmering in the morning sun.
Statue of Liberty
Just before touchdown, look for Lady Liberty standing in the harbor south of Manhattan.
George Washington Bridge
A clear view of the massive suspension bridge connecting the New Jersey Palisades to Upper Manhattan.
New York Harbor
The busy waterways filled with ferries, cargo ships, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in the distance.
Sit on the left for the iconic NYC approach. Book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the skyscrapers. Morning flights are ideal as the sun rises in the east, illuminating the city buildings. This side is especially magical on clear nights when the Manhattan lights are fully visible.
