YHZ → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (Halifax) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the New England coastline and a spectacular perspective of the Manhattan skyline during the final approach into Newark.
Bay of Fundy
Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the high-tide coastline separating Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Maine Wilderness
Expansive views of the dense green forests and numerous lakes throughout the state of Maine.
Boston Skyline
On clear days, the skyscrapers of downtown Boston and the Charles River are clearly visible to the west.
Manhattan Skyline
An iconic view of Central Park and the New York City skyscrapers during the descent into EWR.
George Washington Bridge
A clear view of the massive bridge spanning the Hudson River between Manhattan and New Jersey.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the NYC arrival. Book a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the skyscrapers. This side is particularly magical on evening flights when the city lights of the Northeast Corridor begin to glow.
Atlantic Coastline
Bird's eye view of the rugged south shore of Nova Scotia and the vast North Atlantic Ocean.
Cape Cod & Islands
The distinct hooked shape of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket are often visible to the south.
Long Island Shore
The long, sandy stretches of the Hamptons and Fire Island as the flight tracks toward New Jersey.
Statue of Liberty
Visible on the left during specific approach patterns into Newark's southern runways.
Sit on the left if you prefer the deep blue of the Atlantic and the barrier islands. For morning flights, this side will be very bright with direct sunlight, so bring sunglasses or keep the shade partially down.
