TTN → CVG
Which side of the plane to sit from Trenton Mercer Airport (Trenton) to Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (Cincinnati)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of major metropolitan areas, including a direct sightline to the Pittsburgh skyline and the Three Rivers confluence, followed by the Cincinnati skyline during the final approach into CVG.
Harrisburg State Capitol
View of the Pennsylvania state capital and the iconic City Island situated in the middle of the river.
Pittsburgh Skyline
The 'Golden Triangle' where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio River, featuring the city's iconic bridges.
The Ohio River Valley
The flight tracks the winding path of the Ohio River, revealing the barge traffic and riverside industrial towns.
Downtown Cincinnati
On final approach, clear views of the Great American Ball Park, Paycor Stadium, and the historic Roebling Suspension Bridge.
CVG Terminal View
A sweeping view of the expansive cargo hubs for DHL and Amazon Prime Air located on the northern side of the airfield.
This is the 'urban' side of the flight. Pittsburgh is the mid-flight highlight; try to time your window gaze for approximately 35-40 minutes after takeoff. During the descent into CVG, the right side almost always provides the most iconic view of the Cincinnati skyline if the aircraft is landing from the north.
Lancaster County Farmland
Geometric patterns of Pennsylvania Dutch Country with its distinct patchwork of well-preserved Amish farmsteads.
Susquehanna River
A wide crossing of one of the oldest rivers in the world as it winds through the lower Susquehanna Valley.
Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians
Dramatic parallel ridges of the Appalachian Mountains extending southward toward the Maryland border.
Monongahela River
Observation of the deep river valleys and industrial heritage sites along the northern West Virginia border.
Wayne National Forest
Dense canopy views of southeastern Ohio's rolling Appalachian foothills as the plane begins its descent.
Sit on this side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look for the distinct lack of modern power lines in the Lancaster area to spot traditional Amish farms. During autumn, this side provides exceptional views of the color changes across the West Virginia panhandle.
