Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for witnessing the volcanic islands of the Caribbean and the world-famous Manhattan skyline during the final descent into Newark.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏝️

Lesser Antilles

Frequent sightings of islands like Grenada, St. Vincent, and the Virgin Islands depending on the specific flight corridor.

🌊

Turks and Caicos

Vibrant turquoise waters and coral reef patterns visible while cruising over the Atlantic shelf.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Breathtaking views of the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and Central Park during the approach to EWR.

🗽

Statue of Liberty

The iconic monument is often visible in the New York Harbor as the plane lines up with the runway.

🌉

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

A stunning view of the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn.

The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of New York City. When landing on Runway 4R or 4L (the most common configuration), the plane flies north parallel to Manhattan, putting the skyline directly in view. Try to book a seat away from the wing for unobstructed photos of the island chain early in the flight.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Northern Range

Dramatic views of Trinidad's emerald-green mountain peaks immediately after departing Piarco.

☀️

Caribbean Sunset

Ideal positioning for watching the sun set over the horizon during late afternoon or evening flights.

🏖️

New Jersey Coastline

Clear views of the Jersey Shore beaches and coastal inlets as the aircraft begins its arrival sequence.

🏗️

Port Newark

A close-up look at the massive cranes and shipping containers of one of the world's busiest ports just before touchdown.

Sit on the left if you are on an afternoon flight to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the expansive New Jersey Meadowlands and the industrial heart of the Northeast Corridor during the final seconds of flight.
