Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the intricate Chesapeake Bay, and the iconic skyline of New York City during the journey north.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Atlantic Barrier Islands

Continuous views of the outer banks and coastal beaches stretching from the Carolinas up to the Jersey Shore.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

A sprawling view of the United States' largest estuary, including its complex network of inlets and peninsulas.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the skyscrapers of New York City are visible to the east as the plane navigates the busy Northeast Corridor.

🏞️

Hudson River Valley

Follow the majestic Hudson River as it leads north from NYC toward the capital region of Albany.

⛰️

Green Mountains

As you approach PBG, look across Lake Champlain to see the distinct peaks of Vermont's Green Mountain range.

For the best photography, book an afternoon flight when the sun is to the west, illuminating the coastline and city skylines. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of flight for stunning views of Lake Champlain and the Vermont border.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🐊

Florida Wetlands

Aerial views of the swampy terrain and numerous freshwater lakes of central Florida shortly after departure.

🏔️

Appalachian Ridges

The rolling peaks and valleys of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains visible while cruising over the mid-Atlantic.

🌊

Susquehanna River

The wide, winding path of the Susquehanna as it cuts through the Pennsylvania landscape.

🌲

Adirondack High Peaks

Rugged, forest-covered mountains of Northern New York appear as the flight begins its final descent into Plattsburgh.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly scenic during autumn when the changing foliage in the Appalachian and Adirondack regions creates a vibrant tapestry of color below.
