For the best arrival experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Flights arriving from the west usually enter a 'Downwind' leg for Runway 22, placing NYC directly out the left window. Night flights are particularly spectacular for the city lights of the Eastern Seaboard.
