Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Fort Huachuca. The left side wins overall for the spectacular Manhattan and New York Harbor departure views, which are among the most iconic urban aerial views in the world. The landing views at FHU are compelling on both sides, so the takeoff experience tips the balance to the left.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR typically departs on runway 22L/22R heading southwest, or runway 04 heading northeast. On the dominant southwest departures, the left side gets Manhattan's skyline and Upper New York Bay before the aircraft turns west. On northeast departures, the left side still captures the Hudson River and lower Manhattan. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Upper New York Bay, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Hudson River.

When landing at Sierra Vista Muni Libby Aaf (FHU), sit on the Right side for the best views. FHU's runway 08/26 means arrivals typically come in from the west heading east (runway 08) or from the east heading west (runway 26). On the common eastward approach over the Huachuca Mountains, the right side faces south toward the Mexican border and the broad San Pedro Valley, while both sides get the dramatic Huachuca range. However, the right side on final approach captures the Huachuca Mountains' ridgeline and the sweeping Sulphur Springs Valley to the east more directly. Notable sights include: Huachuca Mountains, San Pedro Valley, Sulphur Springs Valley, Tombstone plateau.
