UVF β†’ EWR

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While the middle of the flight is over open ocean, the right side wins for the dramatic descent into Newark, providing world-class views of the Jersey Shore and the Manhattan skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

The Gulf Stream

Visible transitions in water color from deep navy to turquoise over the Atlantic current.

🎰

Atlantic City

Look for the cluster of high-rise casinos and the famous boardwalk along the New Jersey coast.

πŸŒ‰

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

The massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn during final approach.

πŸ—½

Statue of Liberty

A clear view of Liberty Island and the harbor just minutes before touchdown at EWR.

πŸ™οΈ

Manhattan Skyline

Unobstructed views of One World Trade Center and the dense Midtown skyscrapers.

The right side is essential for the 'New York approach.' If the wind is from the north, you will fly directly past Manhattan. Book a window seat away from the wing for the clearest view of the Statue of Liberty.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Pitons of St. Lucia

Dramatic views of the iconic volcanic spires as the plane departs and turns northward.

🏝️

Caribbean Chain

Distant views of Martinique, Dominica, and Guadeloupe as you track north along the island arc.

πŸ–οΈ

The Outer Banks

Aerial perspective of the thin barrier islands of North Carolina as you cross into US airspace.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Delmarva Peninsula

Overview of the Chesapeake Bay and the rural landscapes of Delaware and Maryland.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Caribbean islands during the first hour of flight. In the morning, this side is also shaded from the direct sun, making it easier to take photos without glare.
