MYR → LGA
Which side of the plane to sit from Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach) to La Guardia Airport (New York)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the barrier islands of the Carolinas, and a stunning approach into New York City featuring the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan.
The Outer Banks
Aerial perspective of the narrow barrier islands and the vast Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds of North Carolina.
Delmarva Peninsula
Visuals of the rugged coastline where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean near Virginia Beach.
The Jersey Shore
Glance down at iconic beach towns like Atlantic City and the long stretches of sand along the New Jersey coast.
New York Harbor
Unmatched views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the Statue of Liberty during the final approach.
Manhattan Skyline
A breathtaking panorama of the Financial District and Midtown skyscrapers just before touchdown at LGA.
The right side is essential for the 'scenic' arrival into LGA. For the best lighting, morning flights illuminate the coastline perfectly. During the 'Park Avenue' or 'River' visual approaches, this side provides the most iconic views of the NYC skyline and bridges.
Carolina Pine Forests
Expansive views of the dense coastal plain forests and wetlands of North Carolina shortly after takeoff.
Mid-Atlantic Urban Corridor
Distant sightings of major inland cities including Richmond, Virginia and the western outskirts of Philadelphia.
Industrial New Jersey
A clear view of the complex industrial landscapes and logistics hubs near Newark as the plane descends.
Choose the left side for sunset views on late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for observing the transition from rural southern landscapes to the dense northern megalopolis.
