Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Godthaab. While the left side wins at takeoff for the Manhattan views, the right side captures the more dramatic and sustained scenery: the Labrador coastline, southern Greenland's ice sheet edge, and the spectacular Nuuk fjord arrival. The Greenland approach on the right is genuinely one of the more dramatic landings in the North Atlantic.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR's primary departure runway 22L sends aircraft southwest before turning northeast, putting Manhattan's skyline and the Hudson River on the left side. You get a clear view of Lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and New York Harbor as the aircraft banks north. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, New York Harbor, Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island.

When landing at Nuuk (GOH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Nuuk Airport's runway 05/23 means most arrivals come in from the southwest over the Davis Strait, touching down heading northeast. The right side faces southeast toward the Nuuk fjord system, the Sermitsiaq mountain, and the colorful buildings of Nuuk city center as you descend. Notable sights include: Sermitsiaq mountain, Nuuk fjord system, Nuuk city center, Labrador Sea coastline.

The flight from Newark Liberty International (EWR) to Nuuk (GOH) takes Approximately 5 to 6 hours.

The route tracks northeast over Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, then crosses the Labrador Sea. Passengers can see the rugged Labrador coastline, extensive sea ice in the Davis Strait depending on season, and the southern tip of Greenland's ice sheet as the aircraft approaches the west Greenland coast. The Greenland ice cap interior is visible on clear days as a vast featureless white plateau.
