Which side of the plane to sit from Providenciales Airport (Providenciales) to John F Kennedy International Airport (New York)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route, offering a spectacular sequence of the private cays north of Providenciales during departure and the iconic Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor landmarks during the descent into JFK.

Parrot Cay
Vibrant views of the exclusive private islands and intricate reef systems north of Providenciales during the initial climb.
Outer Banks
Depending on the air traffic control route, you may see the thin, sandy ribbons of North Carolina's barrier islands.
Manhattan Skyline
The primary highlight; offers a breathtaking view of One World Trade and the Empire State Building during the approach.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
A grand view of the massive suspension bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island as you enter New York airspace.
Statue of Liberty
Often visible in the distance as the aircraft maneuvers over the harbor or New Jersey for alignment.
Book a window seat on the left (typically seat A). For the best photography, aim for a morning flight when the sun is in the east, illuminating the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and later the NYC skyline without creating harsh silhouettes. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the 'Parkway Visual' approach which brings the plane right past the city.

Grace Bay Beach
A stunning panoramic view of the world-famous white sands and luxury resorts of Providenciales right after takeoff.
North & Middle Caicos
Views of the largest islands in the chain, featuring rugged coastlines and expansive wetlands.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic, perfect for spotting cloud formations or the sunrise on early flights.
The Hamptons
As you approach New York, you may see the upscale estates and long beaches of the South Shore of Long Island.
JFK Terminals
An excellent view of the airport infrastructure, Jamaica Bay, and the Rockaway Peninsula during the final touchdown.
The right side (typically seat F) is ideal for passengers who enjoy watching the sunrise over the open ocean on early morning departures. While it misses the main skyline, it offers a more peaceful view of the Atlantic and a great look at the Long Island coastline. This side also experiences less direct glare from the sun during afternoon northbound flights.
