Right-side seats offer superior scenery on both legs: the Hudson River and Manhattan during departure, and the Ohio River valley during approach. The westbound flight path favors right-side views for the most distinctive landmarks.
Flight Path
The flight passes over central Pennsylvania, including the Appalachian ridge-and-valley terrain with visible ridgelines running northeast-southwest. The Allegheny Mountains form a series of parallel ridges visible from cruising altitude. As the aircraft approaches Ohio, the terrain transitions to rolling hills and the Ohio River valley becomes visible, with the river's meanders becoming more pronounced as it approaches Cincinnati.
