Which side of the plane to sit from Gregorio Luperon International Airport (Puerto Plata) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the stunning Bahamian archipelago during the first half of the flight and a more dramatic perspective of the New Jersey coastline and the Manhattan skyline upon approach into Newark.

Mount Isabel de Torres
The iconic flat-topped mountain overlooking Puerto Plata visible shortly after wheels up.
Bahamian Cays
Unmatched views of the turquoise waters surrounding the Turks and Caicos and the eastern Bahamas chain.
The Jersey Shore
Continuous views of the New Jersey beaches, from Atlantic City up to the iconic Sandy Hook peninsula.
Manhattan Skyline
An incredible panoramic view of the One World Trade Center and the Midtown skyline as the plane aligns for Newark.
Port Newark
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest container ports during the final seconds of the flight.
This is the 'scenic' side for the Caribbean leg. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the turquoise reefs of the Bahamas. On arrival, the right side almost always provides a stunning profile of the entire New York City skyline regardless of the specific landing runway.

Amber Coast
Aerial views of Puerto Plata's golden beaches and the Atlantic coastline immediately after takeoff.
The Gulf Stream
Witness the deep indigo transition of the Atlantic where the warm current flows north.
Outer Banks
The thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands, including Cape Hatteras, often visible in the distance.
Chesapeake Bay
The massive estuary and the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel from high altitude.
Statue of Liberty
If landing on Runway 4, a close-up view of Liberty Island and the harbor can be seen just before touchdown.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is better for spotting the Mid-Atlantic coastline. If the flight arrives late in the day, the western sun will be on this side, so keep your shades down to avoid glare until the descent.
