Space Coast
Glimpse the launch pads of Cape Canaveral and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
The Outer Banks
A stunning bird's-eye view of the thin, sandy barrier islands stretching along North Carolina.
Atlantic City
The distinct cluster of casino high-rises and the historic boardwalk along the Jersey Shore.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
The gateway to New York Harbor connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn.
Fire Island
The narrow barrier island and lighthouse marking the final approach into Islip.
The right side is the 'coastal side.' For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing to see the Outer Banks of NC. On evening flights, you may see the flashing lights of lighthouses along the coast. During the final approach to ISP, you will fly directly over the Great South Bay and the beaches of Long Island.

Florida Interior
View the sprawling wetlands and numerous lakes of central Florida shortly after departure.
Mid-Atlantic Cities
Distant but clear views of the Washington D.C. monuments and the Philadelphia skyline.

On clear days during the descent, the iconic NYC skyline is visible across the harbor.
George Washington Bridge
Spot the massive suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River during the northern approach.
MetLife Stadium
The massive sports complex in the Meadowlands is a prominent landmark on the left during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for urban enthusiasts who want to spot the dense corridor of cities including DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. Keep your camera ready as you pass New Jersey for a panoramic view of the Manhattan skyscrapers in the distance.
