Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Eastern Seaboard's dense urban corridor, including distant glimpses of Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and the New York City skyline, along with the intricate geography of the Chesapeake Bay.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Urban Corridor

Sequential distant views of the skylines of major cities like Philadelphia and New York City as you head north.

🦀

Chesapeake Bay

A sprawling view of the United States' largest estuary, including its complex network of tributaries and islands.

⛳

Central Florida Lakes

A bird's-eye view of the thousands of freshwater lakes dotting the Florida interior shortly after takeoff.

🏘️

Historic Coastal Cities

The grid-like layouts and historic districts of Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina.

🌲

Potomac River

The wide, winding river that marks the approach toward the Mid-Atlantic region and the nation's capital.

⚓

Long Island Sound

The protected waterway between the Connecticut coastline and the northern shores of Long Island.

Opt for a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the New York City skyline as the plane bypasses New Jersey. Morning flights are ideal for this side, as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, preventing glare and perfectly illuminating the landmass.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

The Outer Banks

The distinct, thin ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, including Cape Hatteras.

🎰

Atlantic City

The iconic New Jersey shoreline featuring its famous boardwalk and cluster of high-rise casinos.

🏝️

Long Island South Shore

The scenic white sand beaches of the Hamptons and Fire Island stretching along the Atlantic.

🌉

Narragansett Bay

The final approach into PVD offers views of Rhode Island's islands and the massive Claiborne Pell Bridge.

🛥️

Block Island

A solitary island off the coast of Rhode Island, visible just before the final descent.

The right side is perfect for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the horizon without direct sun hitting your window. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight for spectacular views of the Rhode Island coastline and the bridges of Newport.
