Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views of the Hudson Valley, the left side is superior for its iconic approach past the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty.

Montreal Skyline
A sweeping view of downtown Montreal and the St. Lawrence River shortly after departure from YUL.
Lake Champlain
The expansive blue waters of Lake Champlain with the Green Mountains of Vermont as a backdrop.
Manhattan Skyline
The most famous skyline in the world, including Central Park and the Freedom Tower, visible during descent.
Statue of Liberty
A close-up view of Liberty Island as the aircraft lines up for its final approach into Newark.
George Washington Bridge
The massive suspension bridge connecting New Jersey to Upper Manhattan over the Hudson River.
Choose the left side for the 'money shot' of New York City. On the approach into Newark (usually from the north), the plane often flies parallel to Manhattan, giving left-side passengers a front-row seat to the skyscrapers. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the Hudson.
