Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Anchorage. The left side wins overall thanks to the Manhattan skyline on departure and the dramatic Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet coastline on arrival into Anchorage, both distinctly more scenic than the right side's views.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing EWR northbound/westbound gives left-side passengers a view over Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River before the route turns toward the Great Lakes. Right side sees mostly New Jersey suburbs and Staten Island with less distinctive scenery. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, George Washington Bridge, Newark Bay.

When landing at Ted Stevens Anchorage International (ANC), sit on the Left side for the best views. On approach into Anchorage from the south or east, left-side seats typically face the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet, offering dramatic snow-capped peaks and coastal views. The right side often faces the flatter Anchorage bowl and Knik Arm mudflats, which are less visually striking. Notable sights include: Chugach Mountains, Cook Inlet, Turnagain Arm, Denali (on clear days, distant northwest).

The flight from Newark Liberty International (EWR) to Ted Stevens Anchorage International (ANC) takes 7h 05m.

Great Lakes region, Canadian boreal forest and prairies, Rocky Mountains near the Canada-Alaska border, and the coastal ranges of British Columbia and Yukon before descending into Southcentral Alaska
