Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the Atlantic coastline, transitioning from Florida's sandy shores to the dramatic, rocky inlets of Maine.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

The Outer Banks

The spectacular thin ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, visible if the flight takes an offshore route.

🚢

Chesapeake Bay

The massive estuary system and the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel near Norfolk.

🗽

Long Island Shoreline

The southern beaches and the distinct shape of the island extending eastward from New York.

🐚

Cape Cod & Islands

The iconic 'flexed arm' geography of Massachusetts, including views of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

🌊

Maine's Jagged Coast

The transition to the rocky 'Down East' coastline, featuring numerous islands, lighthouses, and deep bays.

The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the shoreline. Keep an eye out for the dramatic change in water color and coastal texture as you cross the Mason-Dixon line northward.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

East Coast Urban Corridor

Distant views of major metropolitan areas including Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City depending on the inland track.

⛰️

New England Highlands

As you head north, the rolling hills and distant peaks of the Appalachian chain become visible to the west.

🌲

Maine Northwoods

Dense, continuous canopy of evergreen forests that define the rugged interior of the Pine Tree State.

🌉

Penobscot River

Aerial views of the winding river system leading directly into the heart of Bangor during the final approach.

Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. This side is also preferable if the flight path takes a more inland route over the Hudson Valley and the Green Mountains of Vermont.
