Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular sequence of coastal geography, starting with the Grand Strand, moving through the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, and concluding with a high-probability view of the Manhattan skyline during the final approach into Newark.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ–οΈ

The Grand Strand

Immediate views of Myrtle Beach's 60-mile stretch of continuous sandy beaches right after takeoff.

🌊

Chesapeake Bay

Views of the massive estuary and the impressive Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel complex near Norfolk.

🎑

Jersey Shoreline

Follow the string of barrier islands, including Atlantic City’s famous boardwalk and casinos.

πŸ—½

New York City Skyline

On the standard approach to Newark, this side often provides a breathtaking panoramic view of Manhattan, the Freedom Tower, and the Statue of Liberty.

The right side is the definitive choice for this route. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the New York City skyline during descent. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you by the time you reach the New Jersey coast, highlighting the city glass and ocean waves perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌲

Carolina Pine Forests

Dense stretches of evergreen forests and wetlands across the coastal plains of North and South Carolina.

πŸ™οΈ

Mid-Atlantic Corridor

Distant views of major metropolitan areas including Richmond, Washington D.C., and Baltimore as you head north.

🌳

New Jersey Pine Barrens

A unique, heavily forested biosphere covering over a million acres of southern and central New Jersey.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is also preferred for watching sunsets on late afternoon departures. While less scenic than the coast, it offers a better view of the inland geography and suburban sprawl of the Northeast Megalopolis.
