Old San Juan
Catch a glimpse of the historic El Morro fortress and the vibrant blue waters of the Atlantic shortly after takeoff.
Outer Banks
View the thin, sandy ribbons of the North Carolina barrier islands as the flight path aligns with the mainland.
New York City Skyline
On clear days, the iconic skyscrapers of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty are visible to the west during the descent.
Hudson Valley
Rolling hills and dense suburban landscapes mark the final approach into the Connecticut River Valley.
Choose the left side for the best urban views. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the US coastline without the glare of the sun. Watch for the Jersey Shore and the NYC metropolitan area approximately 30-45 minutes before landing.

Long Island Sound
See the various boats and coastline of Long Island as you approach the New England region.
Connecticut River
