PBI → HPN
Which side of the plane to sit from Palm Beach International Airport (West Palm Beach) to Westchester County Airport (White Plains)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior coastal perspective, featuring the sweeping curves of the Outer Banks and a breathtaking, panoramic view of the New York City skyline during the final approach into Westchester.
Treasure Coast
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and barrier islands of Jupiter and Stuart after departure.
The Outer Banks
The dramatic, thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands, often visible if the flight path stays coastal.
Atlantic City
The concentrated skyline and historic boardwalk of the Jersey Shore's most famous resort city.
NYC Skyline
A spectacular view of Manhattan's skyscrapers, Central Park, and the Hudson River during the approach to HPN.
George Washington Bridge
A close-up look at the massive suspension bridge spanning the Hudson as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Choose the right side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. The descent into HPN typically involves a pass near or over NYC; the right side offers the most iconic views of the Manhattan skyline and the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Florida Wetlands
Aerial views of the northern Everglades and the Loxahatchee Slough shortly after takeoff from PBI.
Capital Corridor
On clear days, the distinct geometry of Washington D.C. and the Potomac River are visible in the distance to the west.
Philadelphia Skyline
A clear view of the skyscrapers in Center City Philadelphia as the flight crosses the Delaware River.
Hudson Valley
The lush, rolling hills of the lower Hudson Valley and the Palisades become visible during the descent.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the Atlantic. It provides a better view of the inland megalopolis, including the sprawling suburban landscapes of the Northeast Corridor.
