Which side of the plane to sit from Trenton Mercer Airport (Trenton) to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (Cleveland)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Appalachian mountain ridges and the expansive Lake Erie shoreline during the descent into Cleveland.
Pocono Mountains
Distal views of the forested plateau and vacation lakes of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Susquehanna Bends
Scenic northern bends of the river as it carves through the Appalachian Plateau.
Allegheny National Forest
A vast expanse of dense, rolling hardwood forest covering the plateau of northwestern PA.
Lake Erie Shoreline
The massive scale of the Great Lakes becomes apparent during the descent toward Cleveland.
Cleveland Skyline
Excellent views of downtown Cleveland and the Lake Erie coastline when approaching from the east.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Depending on wind direction, aircraft often bank over Lake Erie, providing a stunning panorama of the Cleveland waterfront. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare off the lake's surface during afternoon flights.
Delaware River
Visible immediately after takeoff, marking the border between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia Skyline
On clear days, the skyscrapers of Philly are visible to the south shortly after departure.
Lancaster Farmlands
The distinct geometric patterns of Pennsylvania Dutch Country's highly productive agricultural land.
Three Mile Island
The cooling towers of the infamous nuclear site can be seen along the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg.
Appalachian Ridges
Dramatic parallel ridges of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains cutting through central PA.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct northern sun. It offers a great view of the Susquehanna River's wide basin near Harrisburg. Watch for the 'T' intersection of the PA Turnpike if flying a southern track.
