Central Florida Wetlands
View the vast network of lakes and marshes north of Fort Myers during the initial climb.
Capital Region
Glimpse the sprawling suburbs and potential distant views of the Washington D.C. monuments.
Philadelphia Skyline
A clear view of the skyscrapers in Center City as you traverse the Northeast Corridor.
Manhattan Panorama
Breathtaking views of the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and Central Park as you approach the NYC area.
George Washington Bridge
Spot the famous bridge connecting New Jersey to Upper Manhattan just before the final turn.
Choose a window seat on the left for the most dramatic arrival. If the flight arrives from the south, you will likely track the Hudson River. Aim for a morning flight to avoid the glare of the setting sun, though sunset arrivals offer a stunning golden hour view of the NYC skyline.
