MYR → PBG
Which side of the plane to sit from Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach) to Plattsburgh International Airport (Plattsburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal panoramas, potential glimpses of the New York City skyline, and a breathtaking descent over Lake Champlain.
Grand Strand Coastline
Immediate views of the Atlantic Ocean and the long stretch of beach after departing Myrtle Beach.
Chesapeake Bay
A vast look at the intricate waterways and bridges of the Mid-Atlantic coast.
NYC Skyline
On clear days, see the Manhattan skyline and the surrounding boroughs in the distance.
Hudson River Valley
The plane often parallels the majestic Hudson River as it moves toward the Canadian border.
Lake Champlain
Stunning views of the lake and the Green Mountains of Vermont during the approach into Plattsburgh.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the sunrise over the Atlantic. The approach into PBG is the highlight, as the plane usually flies over or alongside Lake Champlain, offering views of the Vermont shoreline.
Richmond Metro Area
View the urban sprawl of Virginia's capital as the flight heads north-northeast.
The Catskills
Observation of the rolling, forested peaks of southeastern New York state.
Adirondack Wilderness
Deep greens and rugged terrain of the High Peaks region during the final descent phase.
Albany Skyline
The capital of New York is often visible mid-flight on the western side of the aircraft.
Choose the left side for sunset views during late afternoon or evening flights. It provides excellent views of the rugged Adirondack mountains as you enter Northern New York. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Catskills for dramatic topography.
