Cayos de Villa Clara
Stunning turquoise waters and white sand keys of Cuba's northern coast during initial climb.
Kennedy Space Center
On clear days, see the launch pads of Cape Canaveral as the flight tracks the Florida coast.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy strip of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Finger Lakes
The long, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York appearing like scratches on the earth.
Toronto Skyline
A grand view of the CN Tower and downtown core as the plane banks over Lake Ontario for its final approach.
Choose the right side if you are on a morning flight to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side offers better views of the 'Megalopolis' city lights (DC, Philly, NYC) on evening flights. Look for the glint of the sun off the Finger Lakes as you enter the final third of the journey.
