Which side of the plane to sit from Trenton Mercer Airport (Trenton) to Tampa International Airport (Tampa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a scenic vantage point of the Atlantic coastline, the intricate wetlands of the Chesapeake, and the distinctive barrier islands of the Carolinas.
Jersey Shoreline
Aerial views of the New Jersey coast and the Atlantic Ocean immediately following departure from Trenton.
Delaware Bay
Clear views of the expansive bay and the coastal wetlands separating New Jersey and Delaware.
Outer Banks
The narrow, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina, including Cape Hatteras, are often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Charleston Harbor
The historic South Carolina coastline and the intersection of the Ashley and Cooper rivers.
Florida Atlantic Coast
Long stretches of white sand beaches as the flight enters Florida airspace before banking west toward Tampa.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Delaware coastline and the Chesapeake Bay area.
Philadelphia Suburbs
Views of the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area and the rolling hills of Pennsylvania shortly after takeoff.
Piedmont Region
The lush, forested plateau region of the Eastern United States stretching through Virginia and North Carolina.
Ocala National Forest
A vast expanse of sand pine scrub and freshwater springs as you descend into the Florida peninsula.
Florida Lakes
The countless circular freshwater lakes and marshlands characteristic of central Florida's landscape.
Tampa Bay Approach
Panoramic views of the bay, including the Sunshine Skyway Bridge depending on the specific landing pattern at TPA.
The right side is preferred for sunset flights to catch the evening glow over the Florida interior. During the final descent, look for the urban sprawl of Tampa and the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the distance.
