Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior coastal experience, featuring the Jersey Shore, the Long Island Sound, and the picturesque islands of Narragansett Bay during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Jersey Shore

Bird's eye view of the Atlantic coastline, barrier islands, and the famous boardwalks of New Jersey.

🚤

Long Island Sound

Cross over the expansive blue waters separating Long Island from the Connecticut coastline.

🏝️

Block Island

Look for this small, tear-shaped island sitting off the coast of Rhode Island just before the descent begins.

🌉

Narragansett Bay

An incredible final approach featuring the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge and the scenic islands of the bay.

The right side is the definitive choice for maritime scenery. For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun reflecting off the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the quintessential Rhode Island coastal views.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

A brief but stunning view of Center City skyscrapers immediately after takeoff from PHL.

🏫

Central New Jersey

Fly over the garden state with views of Princeton University and the suburban sprawl of the Northeast Corridor.

🍎

Manhattan Distance View

On clear days, see the iconic New York City skyline to the east as you pass over the Jersey/NY border.

🌲

Connecticut River

Aerial views of the winding river and the dense New England forests of southern Connecticut.

Choose the left side for urban views and the Philadelphia skyline shortly after takeoff. This side is better for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare while you look toward the NYC skyline.
