St. John's Harbor
A beautiful view of the 'The Battery' and the colorful row houses of the city right after takeoff.
Nova Scotia Coastline
Observe the jagged, forested coast of the Canadian Maritimes as you head southwest.
Boston Metro Area
Spot the Charles River and the dense urban landscape of Massachusetts as you cross into New England.
Manhattan Skyline
The premier highlight; view the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and Central Park during the descent.
Hudson River
The final landmark as the plane turns to align with Newark's runways, offering a look at the busy waterways.
The right side is the clear winner for urban scenery. To see the Manhattan skyline clearly, ensure you are in a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the NYC skyscrapers and the New England coast without glare.
