STTEWR

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

While the majority of the flight crosses the open Atlantic, the Right Side offers a spectacular view of the British Virgin Islands during departure and the iconic Manhattan skyline during the final approach into Newark.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🇻🇬

British Virgin Islands

Excellent aerial perspectives of Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, and the smaller cays to the east of St. Thomas.

🎡

Atlantic City

Spot the famous boardwalk, piers, and high-rise casinos as the flight path begins its approach over the coastline.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

On a standard approach, the right side provides a breathtaking panorama of One World Trade Center and the Midtown skyline.

🌉

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

A clear view of the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn during the final descent phase.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best Manhattan views, hope for a northerly landing on Runway 4R or 4L. Be aware that on early morning departures, the sun will be directly on this side of the aircraft.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

Magens Bay

Clear views of St. Thomas's famous heart-shaped bay and the rugged northern coastline immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Puerto Rico Trench

Fly over the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, where the water color shifts to a profound, dark indigo.

🏖️

The Jersey Shore

As the plane descends, view the long barrier islands and coastal towns of southern and central New Jersey.

🏗️

Port Newark

Intricate views of the massive shipping cranes and container ships at one of the world's busiest ports just before touchdown.

Sit on the left for the best views of St. Thomas's interior hills upon departure. This side is also preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun glare during the northward journey.
