The Everglades
Vast wetlands and sawgrass prairies visible immediately after departure if heading west before turning north.
Mid-Atlantic Corridor
Strategic views of the urban sprawl including the outskirts of Baltimore and the Philadelphia skyline.
Manhattan Skyline
On many flight paths, the left side provides a breathtaking view of the New York City skyscrapers and Central Park.
Litchfield Hills
The rolling green terrain and dense forests of Western Connecticut as the aircraft prepares for its final approach.
Sit on the left (A seats) for the best chance to see NYC landmarks during the descent. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will experience the sunset, which can be intense, so keep your window shade ready. These seats are also better for spotting inland landmarks like the Appalachian foothills in the distance.
