PHLBDA

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Jersey Shore during departure and the stunning turquoise reef systems and historic St. George's upon arrival in Bermuda.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

Excellent views of Center City skyscrapers and the sports complex immediately after takeoff from PHL.

🏖️

Jersey Shore

Bird's-eye view of Atlantic City's boardwalk and the southern New Jersey coastline as the plane heads out to sea.

🌊

Gulf Stream

Observe the distinct color change where the deep blue Atlantic current meets the coastal shelf waters.

🪸

Northern Reefs

Breathtaking turquoise coral formations visible as the plane begins its final descent into Bermuda.

🏘️

St. George's Town

The UNESCO World Heritage site with its iconic white roofs and pastel buildings visible on final approach.

Select a window seat ahead of the wing to capture the gradient of the Atlantic's blue. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing optimal lighting for photos of the Bermuda reefs and the town of St. George's.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

Delaware River

Scenic views of the industrial and natural bends of the river separating Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

🌊

Delaware Bay

The massive estuary opening into the Atlantic Ocean between Delaware and the southern tip of New Jersey.

🏖️

Delmarva Peninsula

Coastal views of Rehoboth Beach and the Maryland shoreline during the initial climb out of the corridor.

🚤

Great Sound

The large turquoise lagoon in the heart of Bermuda's main islands seen during the arrival phase.

🏰

Royal Naval Dockyard

The historic fortifications and cruise port at the westernmost tip of the island chain.

The right side is ideal for tracking the coastline of the Delmarva Peninsula before heading over open water. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinct 'hook' shape of the main island and the Great Sound if the flight path follows a standard northern approach.
