Toronto Skyline
A stunning view of the CN Tower and downtown core shortly after departure from Pearson.
Finger Lakes
Bird's-eye view of the long, narrow glacial lakes in central New York State.
Catskill Mountains
Lush green peaks and deep valleys as the flight traverses southeastern New York.
Manhattan Skyline
The primary highlight featuring One World Trade Center and the Empire State Building during descent.
George Washington Bridge
A clear view of the massive suspension bridge connecting New Jersey to Upper Manhattan.
Book a seat on the left to maximize your chances of seeing New York City. On many approach patterns (especially landing on Runway 22), the plane flies south along the Hudson River, placing the entire Manhattan skyline directly in your window. Evening flights are particularly magical as the city lights begin to sparkle.

Buffalo Waterfront
Views of the Lake Erie shoreline and the industrial architecture of Buffalo.
Pocono Mountains
Dense forests and recreational lakes throughout the Pennsylvania highlands.
Delaware Water Gap
The iconic geological notch where the Delaware River cuts through the Appalachian Ridge.
Port Newark
Intricate views of massive container ships and cranes at one of the world's busiest ports.
The right side offers better views of the Niagara region if the flight path tracks slightly further west. It is also the preferred side for sunset views on late afternoon flights during the winter. Keep an eye out for the Delaware Water Gap about 20 minutes before landing, as it is a distinct geographical landmark.
