SAV → LGA
Which side of the plane to sit from Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (Savannah) to La Guardia Airport (New York)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior primarily for the final approach into LGA. Passengers often get a breathtaking, close-up view of the Manhattan skyline, including Central Park and the Empire State Building, as the plane banks over the Hudson or East River.

Lowcountry Marshes
Intricate waterway networks and green marshlands surrounding Savannah immediately after takeoff.
Mid-Atlantic Cities
Distanced views of Richmond and the western suburbs of Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
Philadelphia Grid
A clear view of the Schuylkill River and the dense urban layout of Center City Philadelphia.
Manhattan Skyline
The premier highlight; iconic skyscrapers like the One World Trade Center and Hudson Yards are visible during the descent.
Central Park
A perfectly rectangular green oasis visible if the flight follows the common 'Park Visual' approach into LGA.
Book an 'A' window seat for the most iconic views. The 'Park Visual' approach to Runway 4 is common; watch for the plane to bank left over the Hudson River. For evening flights, the city lights are spectacular, but early afternoon provides the best clarity for photography of the DC and Philly skylines.
