Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Greenland ice sheet, the rugged Labrador coast, and a spectacular angle of the Manhattan skyline during typical arrival patterns into Newark.
Scottish Highlands
Rugged peaks and deep lochs are visible as the flight crosses northern Britain toward the Atlantic.
Greenland Icecap
Stunning vistas of massive glaciers, deep blue fjords, and the vast white expanse of the southern ice sheet.
Canadian Shield
The wild, lake-dotted landscape of Labrador and Quebec, featuring ancient rock formations and dense forests.
Adirondack Mountains
The high peaks of upstate New York provide a scenic transition from the wilderness to the urban corridor.
Manhattan Skyline
One of the world's most iconic views; the skyscrapers of New York City are frequently visible on the descent into Newark.
The right side is the 'Greenland side'—keep your window shade open approximately 4 to 5 hours into the flight. For the best Manhattan views, hope for a 'River Visual' approach or a landing on Runway 22; the right side will face the city while the plane turns. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through atmospheric haze over the Atlantic.
Rhine Valley
Glance down shortly after departure from Stuttgart to see the winding Rhine river and the rolling hills of the Eifel region.
Southern England
Clear views of the English Channel and the patchwork fields of the southern UK counties.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast North Atlantic, ideal for spotting unique cloud formations and ship wakes.
Maritime Canada
The rugged coastline of Nova Scotia and the impressive tides of the Bay of Fundy.
Jersey City
Close-up views of the New Jersey Gold Coast and the Statue of Liberty during the final approach descent.
The left side is excellent for catching the soft morning light over Europe. If the flight path takes a southerly track across the Atlantic, you may catch a distant view of the Azores or the tip of Cape Cod. During landing at EWR, the left side often looks directly onto the industrial ports of New Jersey.
