The Golden Triangle
Upon departure, view the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers forming Pittsburgh's downtown.
Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians
Dramatic parallel mountain ridges of central Pennsylvania, looking particularly sharp during winter or autumn.
Manhattan Skyline
A stunning view of One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, and Midtown during the final approach.
MetLife Stadium
The massive sports complex in the Meadowlands is often visible just minutes before touchdown.
Sit in a window seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of New York City. On the typical 'PHLBO' arrival into Newark, the left side is the only side that consistently sees the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Night flights are especially spectacular on this side for the city lights.

Pennsylvania Farmlands
The picturesque, geometric patchwork of the Amish country and Lancaster County's agricultural heartland.
Harrisburg Capital
Clear views of the Susquehanna River and the Pennsylvania State Capitol dome if the flight path stays south.
Statue of Liberty
Visible in the distance in the New York Harbor during the final turn toward the Newark runways.
Port Newark
One of the world's busiest container ports, offering a fascinating look at global logistics just before landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you travel East. During certain landing patterns (Runway 4 arrival), the right side may get a closer look at the Statue of Liberty and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
