Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Jacksonville. Left side delivers the best views at both ends of the flight — Manhattan and New York Harbor on departure, and the St. Johns River and Jacksonville on arrival. Along the mid-flight cruise over the Carolinas and Georgia, the left side also has a slightly better angle toward the coastal plain and any visible river systems heading toward the Atlantic.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR's primary departure runways (4L/4R) head northeast, then aircraft turn south. The left side captures Manhattan's skyline, the Hudson River, and New York Harbor during the initial climb and turn. You get a direct broadside view of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty as the aircraft banks. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

When landing at Jacksonville International (JAX), sit on the Left side for the best views. JAX primarily uses runways 7/25 and 13/31. Approaches from the north on runway 7 or 13 bring the aircraft over the St. Johns River, which is dramatically wide and visible on the left side as you descend. The river's broad curves and the downtown Jacksonville skyline are clearly visible to the left on final approach. Notable sights include: St. Johns River, downtown Jacksonville skyline, Dames Point Bridge, Jacksonville Beach coastline to the east.

The flight from Newark Liberty International (EWR) to Jacksonville International (JAX) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes.

The flight tracks roughly south-southwest over New Jersey, Delaware, the Delmarva Peninsula or inland over Maryland and Virginia, then the Carolinas. Notable features include the broad Chesapeake Bay visible early in the flight, the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a thin barrier island strip near the coast, the Pee Dee and Cape Fear river systems in the Carolinas, and the flat Georgia coastal plain approaching Jacksonville. No significant mountain ranges are crossed as the route stays east of the Appalachians.
