MMU → LUK
Which side of the plane to sit from Morristown Municipal Airport (Morristown) to Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field (Cincinnati)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic 'Ridge and Valley' province of the Appalachians and more frequent views of the winding Ohio River on the descent into Lunken Field.
Manhattan Skyline
Shortly after takeoff from MMU, you can often see the New York City skyline to the east as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.
Susquehanna River
A massive, ancient river crossing near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, featuring several large islands and bridge spans.
Appalachian Ridges
The dramatic parallel ridges of central Pennsylvania look like green waves frozen in time when viewed from above.
Laurel Highlands
High-altitude plateaus and deep valleys in southwestern Pennsylvania that are particularly vibrant during autumn.
Ohio River Approach
As you descend into LUK, the left side offers the best view of the river's winding path toward downtown Cincinnati.
Book a left-side window seat for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light hitting the Appalachian ridges. If departing on Runway 23 at MMU, keep your camera ready immediately for the NYC skyline silhouette.
Delaware Water Gap
Look north early in the flight to see where the Delaware River cuts through the Kittatinny Ridge at the NJ/PA border.
State College
On a clear day, you can spot the sprawling campus of Penn State and the massive Beaver Stadium in the distance.
Distant Pittsburgh
Depending on the exact flight path, the 'Steel City' skyline and its three rivers can be spotted to the north mid-flight.
Allegheny Plateau
Dense forest coverage and rolling hills characterize this section of northern West Virginia and southern Ohio.
Cincinnati Suburbs
A great view of the residential hillsides and parks of eastern Cincinnati during the final approach into Lunken.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It provides a more intimate look at the rugged, forested terrain of the Allegheny Plateau before entering the flatter Ohio farmland.
