Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a premier window into the East Coast's most famous landmarks, including the New York City skyline and the majestic Outer Banks.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Northeast Megalopolis

Unrivaled views of the dense urban corridor stretching from Boston through New York City.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

A breathtaking aerial perspective of the Hudson River and the skyscrapers of New York.

🌊

Jersey Shore

A continuous view of the famous coastline and boardwalks of New Jersey.

🏝️

Outer Banks

The narrow, scenic barrier islands of North Carolina protruding into the Atlantic.

🚀

The Space Coast

Potential sightings of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral during the descent into Florida.

For the best experience, choose the left side on a morning flight to avoid the sun's glare while enjoying fully illuminated coastal views. During clear night flights, the string of lights along the I-95 corridor is a spectacular sight.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
⛰️

Piedmont Plateau

Rolling green hills and the distant blue haze of the Appalachian Mountains to the west.

🏛️

Potomac River

Aerial views of the winding river systems that define the Mid-Atlantic geography.

🌲

Southern Forests

Vast expanses of managed pine forests through the heart of the Carolinas.

🏘️

Lake Communities

The intricate patterns of master-planned neighborhoods and man-made lakes in Central Florida.

🐊

Florida Wetlands

Distinctive swampy terrain and natural preserves visible during the final approach into Orlando.

The right side is the preferred choice for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the inland landscape. It offers a more tranquil, nature-focused view compared to the urban left side.
