Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean islands and the intricate coastal geography of the United States Atlantic seaboard.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Punta Cana Coastline

Stunning views of the white sands and coral reefs of Bavaro beach immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Turks and Caicos

Vibrant turquoise waters and small cays visible as the flight heads north over the Caribbean.

🌊

Outer Banks

The thin, sandy strip of North Carolina barrier islands provides a dramatic contrast with the ocean.

🌉

Chesapeake Bay

An expansive view of the world largest estuary and the engineering of the Bridge-Tunnel.

🏞️

Delmarva Peninsula

A patchwork of farmland, wetlands, and rivers stretching across Delaware and Maryland.

🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

A clear view of Center City skyscrapers if the flight approaches from the south.

Sit on the left for morning departures to keep the sun on the opposite side, ensuring better photo lighting. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Virginia and North Carolina border for the best coastline shots.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🪸

Mouchchoir Bank

Submerged coral reefs and varying depths of blue water north of the Dominican Republic.

🚢

Atlantic Ocean

Deep blue horizons and potential sightings of large cargo vessels heading toward East Coast ports.

⛱️

Jersey Shore

The southern beaches of New Jersey and the Cape May peninsula visible during the descent.

🏟️

Atlantic City

The distinct skyline of casinos and the historic boardwalk can often be seen to the northeast.

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It offers a unique perspective of the New Jersey coastline and the deep Atlantic during the cruise phase.
