Which side of the plane to sit from Los Cabos International Airport (San Jose Del Cabo) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for its dramatic views of the Baja coastline upon departure and the potential for a stunning Manhattan skyline panorama during the descent into Newark.

Baja Peninsula Coastline
Dramatic views of the rugged Pacific coastline and desert cliffs shortly after takeoff from SJD.
Sonoran Desert
Expansive views of arid landscapes and unique geological formations as you cross the US-Mexico border.
Appalachian Mountains
The rolling green ridges of the Appalachian chain visible through the Eastern United States.
Manhattan Skyline
Often provides an iconic view of the New York City skyline, including One World Trade Center, during northern approaches.
MetLife Stadium
A close-up view of the Meadowlands sports complex just moments before touching down in Newark.
Sit on the left to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun during this northeastbound daytime flight. For the best NYC views, look out during the final 15 minutes of the flight; if the plane approaches from the north, the skyline will be fully visible.

Sea of Cortez
Vibrant turquoise waters and scattered islands visible immediately after banking east from Los Cabos.
Sierra Madre Occidental
Soaring peaks and deep, dramatic canyons of mainland Mexico's primary mountain range.
The Great Plains
The intricate geometric patterns of agricultural 'crop circles' across the American heartland.
Mississippi River
The massive, winding silver ribbon of the largest river system in North America.
Jersey City Waterfront
Detailed views of the Gold Coast and the Statue of Liberty in the distance on southern approaches.
The right side offers the best views of the Sierra Madre mountains early in the flight. However, be prepared for more direct sunlight. If the flight path circles south of Newark for landing, you may get a better look at the Statue of Liberty and the harbor.
