OKC → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the Midwest landscape, the Mississippi River crossing, and the highest probability of a clear Manhattan skyline view during the Newark approach.

Midwest Patchwork
The geometric precision of Oklahoma and Missouri farmland creates a vibrant green and tan quilt early in the flight.
St. Louis Gateway Arch
On clear days, the shimmering steel of the Gateway Arch is visible as you cross the Mississippi River.
Appalachian Ridges
Dramatic views of the folded, parallel ridges of the Appalachian Mountains through central Pennsylvania.
Manhattan Skyline
On many Newark arrival patterns, this side offers a direct, sweeping view of the Freedom Tower and Midtown skyscrapers.
Red Bull Arena
As you descend into EWR, look for the unique circular architecture of the soccer stadium in Harrison.
Sit forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the Appalachian ridge views. Evening flights are particularly scenic as the sun sets behind the plane, illuminating the Manhattan skyline in gold during the final descent.

The Ohio River
Watch the meandering turns of the Ohio River as it winds through the industrial heartland and forested hills.
Monongahela Forest
Aerial views of the dense, rugged wilderness of West Virginia and southern Pennsylvania.
Statue of Liberty
If the plane approaches EWR from the south, the Statue of Liberty is clearly visible in the New York Harbor.
Port Newark
A fascinating look at the massive container ships and cranes of the busiest port on the East Coast during landing.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
Visible as you cross over the Jersey coastline, connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready for the Statue of Liberty; it often appears suddenly during the final 2 minutes of the flight when approaching from the south.
