Manhattan Skyline
Iconic views of the New York City skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty from a distance.
Long Island Sound
The vast blue expanse separating the Connecticut shoreline from the beaches of Long Island.
Boston Perimeter
In the distance, the dense urban sprawl of the Greater Boston area becomes visible during the descent.
Atlantic Coastline
Striking views of the jagged New England coast and various bays heading into New Hampshire.
Merrimack River
The river that defines the Manchester landscape appears just before landing at MHT.
The right side is the 'ocean side' and is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the coastline. Keep a sharp eye out about 20 minutes into the flight for the best views of the New York City harbor. On the final approach into Manchester, look for the historic brick mill buildings along the river.
