The Poconos
Scenic views of the forested Pocono plateau and its numerous recreational lakes shortly after departure.
Allegheny National Forest
A vast expanse of dense Pennsylvania wilderness and rugged terrain visible during mid-flight.
Lake Erie Crossing
Sweeping views of the Great Lake's blue waters as the flight path aligns for the Michigan descent.
Detroit Skyline
Iconic views of the Renaissance Center and the international border bridge when landing from the east.
The right side is the 'money' side for landing at DTW. If the aircraft approaches from the east (landing on runways 21 or 22), you will get a perfect panoramic view of downtown Detroit and the Ambassador Bridge. For morning flights, this side also avoids the direct glare of the sun, making photography much easier.

Delaware River Loop
Visible immediately after takeoff from TTN, showing the winding border between NJ and PA.
Appalachian Ridges
Dramatic views of the linear mountain folds of central Pennsylvania and the Susquehanna River.
Cleveland Metro Area
Glimpses of the Ohio shoreline and the southern periphery of the Cleveland metropolitan sprawl.
Choose the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset as you travel westward. This side also provides excellent views of the distinct 'corrugated' topography of the Appalachian mountains in central PA. During winter, the snow-covered ridges are particularly striking against the valley floors.
