Golfe de la Gonâve
Dramatic views of Haiti's largest bay and the coastline of the Artibonite department immediately after takeoff.
Great Inagua Island
The southernmost island of the Bahamas, known for its massive salt pans and being a sanctuary for West Indian flamingos.
Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina, including Cape Hatteras and its surrounding turquoise waters.
Chesapeake Bay Mouth
The engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and the naval activity around Norfolk/Virginia Beach.
New York City Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the iconic Manhattan skyscrapers on final approach.
Sit on the left for a late afternoon flight to catch the sunset over the Atlantic coast. This side is most likely to provide views of the Manhattan skyline if the plane approaches JFK from the south or west (common for runways 4L or 13R). Keep your window shade open as you cross the Virginia/Maryland coastline.
