TUL → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Tulsa International Airport (Tulsa) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior primarily due to the approach into Newark, which frequently offers a stunning panorama of the Manhattan skyline, including the Hudson River and One World Trade Center.
St. Louis Skyline
Aerial view of the Gateway Arch and the downtown area as you cross the Mississippi River.
Indianapolis
The city layout of the 'Crossroads of America' is often visible mid-flight.
Appalachian Ridges
Dramatic linear mountain folds and lush forests across central Pennsylvania.
Susquehanna River
A wide, winding river cutting through the mountain gaps in the Northeast.
Manhattan Skyline
On many EWR arrivals, the left side provides an iconic view of the entire New York City skyline.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for the best chance to see the New York City skyline during the final approach. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, reducing glare for photography over the Midwest and the Appalachian Mountains. Use the St. Louis Arch as a waypoint roughly 45 minutes after takeoff.
Ozark Foothills
Lush green rolling hills visible shortly after departing the Tulsa area.
Ohio River Valley
Industrial waterways and winding river bends near the borders of IL, IN, and KY.
PA Ridge-and-Valley
Striking geological formations of the Appalachian mountains visible from high altitude.
Philadelphia Distance View
On a clear day, the Philadelphia skyline may be visible to the south during descent.
Statue of Liberty
Depending on the wind and runway in use, the Statue of Liberty can often be spotted just before touchdown.
The right side (F) is excellent for viewing the intricate patterns of the Appalachian Mountains in the afternoon, as the sun will illuminate the western slopes. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the New Jersey coastline and the Statue of Liberty, which often appears close to the aircraft during southern arrival patterns.
