Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular coastal perspective of the Atlantic shoreline and an iconic view of the Manhattan skyline during the final approach into Newark.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Bay of Fundy

Aerial views of the massive tidal flats and rugged cliffs of the New Brunswick coast.

⚓

Portland Waterfront

The jagged Maine coastline and the cluster of islands in Casco Bay are visible shortly after crossing the border.

🏙️

Boston Metro

A distant but clear view of the Boston skyline, the Charles River, and Logan International Airport.

🏖️

Long Island Sound

Views of the shoreline of Connecticut and the sandy north shore of Long Island.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

On the final descent into Newark, passengers get an unparalleled panoramic view of the Empire State Building, Central Park, and One World Trade Center.

Seat yourself on the left side for the best chance of a 'City Visual' approach. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the New England coast. In the evening, the NYC skyline glows brilliantly.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

White Mountains

Panoramic views of New Hampshire's tallest peaks, including the snow-capped Mount Washington in winter.

🌲

Green Mountain National Forest

Extensive views of the dense forests and rolling hills of Vermont and Western Massachusetts.

🛶

Connecticut River

The longest river in New England winds through the valley below the flight path.

🌉

George Washington Bridge

A direct view of the massive suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River during the descent.

🏟️

The Meadowlands

The MetLife Stadium and American Dream complex are prominent landmarks just before landing.

The right side is ideal for nature lovers, especially during the autumn 'leaf peeping' season (late September to October) when the New England forests turn vibrant red and gold. During winter, look for the ski trails carved into the mountains.
