Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Delhi. The left seat wins overall due to the spectacular Manhattan and New York Harbor departure view, which is one of the most iconic urban aerial scenes in the world. The landing view from the right is good but Delhi's flat terrain and haze make it less dramatic. Across the flight path, the left side also offers better views of Greenland's ice sheet and the Scandinavian coastline on the polar routing.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR typically departs northeast on runway 22L/22R or north on 29, then turns. A left seat gives you Manhattan's skyline directly as you climb out over Newark Bay, with the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan unmistakable. The Statue of Liberty sits in the harbor just off the left side during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. IGI Delhi typically lands from the west or northwest on runways 28/29, meaning the approach comes in over the southwestern outskirts of Delhi. A right seat faces north toward central Delhi, giving views of the dense urban grid of New Delhi, Connaught Place, and the broad ceremonial boulevard of Rajpath leading to India Gate. Notable sights include: India Gate and Rajpath boulevard, Connaught Place circular commercial district, Yamuna River to the east, Old Delhi's dense urban fabric.

The flight from Newark Liberty International (EWR) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 14 to 15 hours.

This route typically follows a polar or near-polar great circle track heading northeast over the North Atlantic, crossing southern Greenland's ice sheet and glaciated coastline, then tracking over the Norwegian Sea or northern Scandinavia, continuing southeast over Russia's Ural Mountains and the vast West Siberian Plain, then descending over Central Asia through Afghanistan or Pakistan before entering Indian airspace over the Thar Desert and Rajasthan plains into Delhi.
