Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the iconic barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and a spectacular view of the Philadelphia skyline during the final approach into Trenton.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Continuous views of the Atlantic beaches from Cocoa Beach up through Daytona as you parallel the coast.

🏝️

The Outer Banks

The stunning, narrow strip of North Carolina's barrier islands including Cape Hatteras and Kitty Hawk.

🦀

Chesapeake Bay

The eastern shore's intricate network of inlets, marshes, and the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

🎡

Atlantic City

The high-rise casinos and historic Boardwalk of the New Jersey shore are often clearly visible during the descent.

🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

A prime view of the Philly skyscrapers (Comcast Center, One Liberty Place) as the plane banks toward Trenton.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' light reflecting off the Atlantic Ocean and the New Jersey coast. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the plane frequently executes a turn that provides a direct, high-altitude view of Center City Philadelphia. Look for the Outer Banks about 60-70 minutes into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🐊

Florida Wetlands

Aerial views of the northern Everglades and the vast cypress swamps of central Florida shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Orlando Theme Parks

On clear days, look for the sprawling complexes of Disney World and Universal Studios as you head north.

🏛️

Washington D.C. & Baltimore

Distant views of the U.S. Capital landmarks and the Baltimore Inner Harbor while cruising over the mid-Atlantic.

🏞️

Susquehanna River

The massive, winding river marks the transition from Maryland into the Pennsylvania and New Jersey corridor.

🚜

Garden State Farms

The lush agricultural landscapes of southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania during the descent.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the eastern sun. While passing through the Virginia/Maryland corridor, keep an eye out for the distinct grid of Washington D.C. and the Pentagon on the horizon. This side also avoids the late afternoon 'sun-in-eyes' issue during the northbound trek.
