Nassau Coastline
Breathtaking views of New Providence Island and the surrounding coral reefs immediately after takeoff.
The Outer Banks
Watch the thin, sandy ribbons of North Carolina's barrier islands as the flight tracks north.
Chesapeake Bay
Aerial perspective of the massive estuary and the intricate waterways of the Delmarva Peninsula.
Philadelphia Skyline
As the plane aligns for the PHL runway, the skyscrapers of Center City are often visible to the left.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On clear days, the contrast between the deep blue Gulf Stream and the shallow coastal waters is most striking between 10 AM and 2 PM.

The northernmost islands of the Bahamas, appearing as emerald gems in the vast Atlantic.
Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the sunrise on early morning flights and the deep blue expanse of the ocean.
Atlantic City
The casinos and boardwalk of the Jersey Shore are frequently visible during the descent into Pennsylvania.
Delaware River
Follow the winding path of the river and the industrial shipping ports as you approach the airport.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to catch the sunrise over the water. During winter months, the low sun angle can create glare on the right side, so bring sunglasses for the descent into PHL.
