Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Greenville/Greer/Spartanburg to New York. While the takeoff offers mountain views on the right, the landing approach into LGA on the left provides more dramatic and iconic scenery—the Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, and East River are far more visually distinctive than the Piedmont terrain visible during cruise. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Blue Ridge Mountains as the aircraft climbs northwest out of GSP. The ridgeline is clearly visible from 8,000–15,000 feet during the initial climb phase, running roughly north-south across the right wing. Notable sights include: Blue Ridge Mountains (northwest), Greenville urban area (directly below/behind), Saluda River valley (foreground), Piedmont plateau terrain (extending right and forward).

When landing at La Guardia (LGA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Hudson River, Manhattan's skyline, and the East River during the final approach into LGA. The aircraft descends over the Bronx and Queens, giving left-side passengers a direct view of the water bodies and urban density that define the New York area. Notable sights include: Hudson River (left side), Manhattan skyline (left-center), East River (left), Queens urban grid (right and foreground).

The flight from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) to La Guardia (LGA) takes 3h 15m.

Appalachian ridgelines (Tennessee/North Carolina border region), Shenandoah Valley floor, Blue Ridge Mountains eastern escarpment, Potomac River valley, Washington DC area (if visible during cruise), Chesapeake Bay (eastern shore visible at altitude), Delaware and Maryland coastal plains, New Jersey Pine Barrens, Hudson River estuary approach
