Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking views of the Turks and Caicos reefs upon takeoff and the iconic New York City skyline and Statue of Liberty during the descent into Newark.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

North Caicos

Aerial views of the lush islands and intricate coral reefs of the Turks and Caicos chain.

🗼

Outer Banks

The distinct thin strip of the North Carolina coastline and Cape Hatteras.

🎰

Atlantic City

The famous boardwalk and casinos are clearly visible along the New Jersey shoreline.

🗽

Statue of Liberty

An iconic view of Lady Liberty and Ellis Island during the final approach pattern.

🌆

Manhattan Skyline

Panoramic views of the One World Trade Center and the NYC skyline as the plane banks into Newark.

🎡

American Dream Mall

The massive entertainment complex and MetLife Stadium appear just before touchdown.

The right side is significantly better for the arrival into Newark. Aim for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the Manhattan skyline. Ensure you sit away from the wing to get the best angle for the Statue of Liberty.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏖️

Grace Bay

Immediate views of the turquoise waters and white sands of Providenciales right after takeoff.

🌊

Deep Atlantic

Vast, deep blue ocean views as the plane tracks north away from the Caribbean.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

Distant views of the massive bay and the Maryland and Delaware coastlines.

🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

On clear days, the skyscrapers of Philadelphia are visible in the distance to the west.

🌲

NJ Pine Barrens

The dense, green forests of southern New Jersey as the aircraft begins its descent.

Choose the left side for the best initial views of Grace Bay Beach after departure. This side is also preferable if you want to avoid direct afternoon sun when flying north, as the sun will be on the opposite side.
