Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the United States eastern seaboard, featuring a sequence of major coastal cities, historic landmarks, and the intricate geography of the Chesapeake Bay and Florida's Space Coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌴

Florida Gold Coast

Immediately after takeoff, view the luxury estates of Palm Beach and the turquoise waters of the Jupiter Inlet.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Look for the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads at Cape Canaveral as you head north.

🏛️

Charleston Harbor

Depending on the flight path's inland offset, you can often spot the historic battery and Fort Sumter in South Carolina.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

A sprawling view of the world's largest estuary, including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel complex.

🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

As the plane begins its descent into the New York airspace, the skyscrapers of Center City Philadelphia are visible to the west.

Book an 'A' seat for the best land-based views. For morning flights, this side is ideal as it faces away from the direct sun, reducing glare. During the winter months, watch for the transition from Florida's greenery to the more muted tones of the Mid-Atlantic landscape.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

The Gulf Stream

Observe the distinct color change where the deep blue of the warm Gulf Stream meets the shallower coastal waters.

🏖️

The Outer Banks

See the thin, fragile ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina stretching into the Atlantic.

🎰

Atlantic City

The high-rise casinos and iconic boardwalk of the Jersey Shore are prominent during the final stages of the flight.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

If EWR is landing from the south (Runway 4R/L), the right side provides a spectacular, albeit distant, view of the NYC skyline.

Sit on the right side ('F' seats) if you are flying during the late afternoon or sunset to enjoy the light reflecting off the ocean. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; if the wind is from the north, your approach path may provide an iconic view of the Statue of Liberty.
