Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Godthaab to Newark. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. Over Greenland you get the fjords and Sermitsiaq on departure, and over New York you get the full Manhattan and harbor panorama on approach. The right side offers open ocean for most of the flight with little to distinguish it.

During takeoff from Nuuk (GOH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Nuuk Airport's runway 05/23 means departures heading southeast give the left side views over Nuuk Fjord and the dramatic ice-capped peaks of the Sermitsiaq massif. The left side also captures the town of Nuuk itself spread across the peninsula as you climb out over the fjord system. Notable sights include: Sermitsiaq mountain (1210m, iconic flat-topped peak), Nuuk Fjord system, Godthåbsfjord branching waterways, Nuuk city peninsula.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Arrivals into EWR typically come in from the northeast on runway 22L/22R heading southwest, putting Manhattan, the Hudson River, and Upper New York Bay on the left side. You get a clear view of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge as you descend. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

The flight from Nuuk (GOH) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 6 to 7 hours.

The flight tracks southeast from Nuuk across the Labrador Sea, passing south of the tip of Greenland near Cape Farewell, then over the open North Atlantic. The left side may catch distant views of southeastern Greenland's outlet glaciers and iceberg-laden coastal waters early in the flight. As the route approaches North America, the coast of Nova Scotia and then the Gulf of Maine become visible, followed by the New England coastline — Cape Cod is often visible as a distinctive curved spit — before descending toward the New York metro area.
